The School to Seas programme is free to attend, and we provide all food and accommodation for the week. Most participants arrange and fund their own travel to and from Devonport Naval Base in Auckland (or Auckland Airport, if flying in). We understand that the cost of travel may prevent some applicants from being able to attend, and offer a limited number of spaces for subsidised travel. Please indicate if you would require support in order to attend the camp.
