Motutapu Outdoor Education Camp
Motutapu Outdoor Education Camp
Motutapu Outdoor Education Camp sits at Administration Bay on the northern shores of Motutapu Island in the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland.
The camp occupies five hectares on land administered by the Department of Conservation, and its buildings — originally constructed as an artillery camp during World War II — are listed as an A1 Historical site, preserved in their original design with maintenance upgrades for guest comfort.
The surrounding landscape includes WWII gun emplacements, tunnels, bunkers, walking tracks, and what is described as the largest Pohutukawa forest in the world.
Motutapu Island was declared pest-free in 2011, and the camp operates as a "Pest-Free Warranted" concession holder with a biosecurity system in place.
The camp's mission centres on providing outdoor experiential education for groups of all ages, capitalising on the island's unique natural and historical setting.
