Kate Parr, the camp manager, was fantastic to deal with in terms of organising the camp programme and arrangements before and during camp. She was prompt in her email responses, happy to answer all my questions (nothing seemed like a stupid question!) and did all she could to make my school's camp at Pirongia Lodge as memorable and fun as possible. Kate's instructors at her company, First Step Outdoors, were also great to work with. I found them most professional to deal with and friendly. They worked really well with my Y10 class and were most encouraging and helpful. The instructors ensured my students were kept safe at all times whilst still giving them an adventurous and challenging outdoor experience. Kate organised catering for my group. Her cook, Rachel, was also very approachable and helpful. The meals provided were delicious and nutritious. Pirongia Lodge is in a beautiful setting. The Lodge offers great facilities both in terms of accommodation and activities for students to to do. It seemed well maintained and was very clean. The mattresses were surprisingly comfortable!
