5 Day Sailing Journey | Summer 2025 School Holiday Camp


  • NZ Sailing Trust 220 Quay Street Auckland, Auckland, 1010 New Zealand (map)

Get ready for an epic 5-day sailing adventure designed just for teens like you, aged 14-18! It's not just about sailing; it's about pushing your limits, making new friends, and gaining skills that will stick with you for life.

Picture this: You'll be sailing on legendary boats like Lion New Zealand or Steinlager 2, the very vessels Sir Peter Blake sailed around the world. You'll learn the ropes of sailing, read the weather like a pro, and even whip up meals for all your new friends and the crew. Plus, you'll sleep onboard under the stars!

But it's not all smooth sailing; you'll face challenges that'll test your grit and decision-making skills. Don't worry, though - you'll have a team of experienced instructors guiding you every step of the way.

And hey, if you're up for it, you can even earn credit towards the Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award. But whether you're chasing awards or just looking for adventure, this program is open to everyone.

From beach clean-ups to raft building, there's never a dull moment. And at just $1,575 per person, including everything from meals to sailing lessons, it's a steal.

So, if you're ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime, hit that "Book Now" button and secure your spot!
