Trail Rose Adventure Trips
Trail Rose Adventure Trips
The purpose of our Adventure Trips are to create a sense of exploration and excitement, by having the girls ride somewhere outside of the normal in a fun and safe environment. Our adventure trips will put the girls teamwork, leadership and confidence to the test in an engaging and enjoyable way. More information will be available about the adventure trips once the Roses are confirmed. We are planning on having 1 adventure trip mid way through Term 4 2024, and 2 adventure trips in 2025.
Fees for these Adventure Trips will be confirmed once we know about our funding.
