ARTHUR'S PASS
OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTRE
Discover the heart of the Southern Alps
Arthur’s Pass Outdoor Education Centre is an outdoor and environmental education centre for primary and secondary school students, providing experiential learning through engaging, effective and enjoyable outdoor activities and lodge-style accommodation.
Set in the heart of the 113,000-hectare Arthur’s Pass National Park, this natural alpine environment serves as our classroom for all our learning experiences. Two hours from Christchurch, access by road or add extra value to your learning experience by using the Trans Alpine. We believe by fostering appreciation of the natural world and history of the Arthur’s Pass area, we hope to create positive attitudes towards New Zealand’s natural environment.
