The Wakatipu High School , annual year 10 branches camp , which goes for 12days, has been running for 46 years . The camp has become a ' Rite of passage' for students and pushes many out of their comfort zone . The students participate in rafting, abseiling, hiking, target shooting, and kayaking to name a few activities and this is one of the only camps of its kind still in existence in New Zealan

d . The Branches Charitable Trust was established in 2009 to ensure the on going viability of the camp , so that our students of the future would still be able to participate in this unique, amazing and life changing opportunity.
