E3

Check below for our latest E3 event info.

E3  for Year 12-13 school students (ages 17-18) is a 
11-day wilderness expedition in 3 amazing locations and E3 for Young Adults (ages 19-25) is a 7-day expedition. Travelling as a small community through remote wilderness areas of Aotearoa New Zealand, each expedition is focused on developing the character of participants and strengthening their connections with God, others, and creation. Through a combination of shared experiences (back-country cooking, participation in citizen science projects and practical conservation, facilitating decision-making), daily discussions and solo-time, we will explore how we fit into God's story and reflect on what this might mean for the next season of life.

E3 is a partnership between SUNZ, Adventure Specialties and A Rocha NZ. E3 ministries believe that wilderness experiences are significant - helping us to understand ourselves better and deepening our relationships with others, with God, 
and with God's creation.

E3 Expeditions involve a range of outdoor pursuits (Rafting, Sea Kayaking, Mountain-Biking, Tramping) as we pilgrimage through remote wilderness areas 
of Aotearoa New Zealand.

In the South Island you can choose to tramp through the Lewis Pass high country and undertake a multi-day rafting expedition down the Waiau Toa/Clarence River—or head to Otago to scale alpine passes in Aspiring National Park and sea-kayak across Lake Wanaka. In the North Island the journey traverses bays and history around the Bay of Islands.

Places on E3 usually fill up quickly so sign up quick.
We can only take 12 campers on each expedition.
