That’s a wrap on BLAKE Explorers for 2024!
A huge year for this wonderful three-day program, which has expanded to reach;
🌊10 Schools from Tāmaki Makaurau
🌊2 Schools from Te Whanganui-a-Tara – (the FIRST time for BLAKE Explorers in Wellington!)
🌊220 students in total – the latest of which being 16 students from Don Buck School who took part in the camp last week based at Whangateau Holiday Park.
The groups change, but the format remains the same, and there’s never any shortage of smiles from students on the last day of this experience which is designed to leave them feeling connected to their natural surrounds, and empowered to share their knowledge of the marine environment with others.
From a visit to the Goat Island Discovery Centre to snorkelling in the marine reserve itself, to identifying marine life in rock pools, tasting kina, and night walks through native bush to spot kiwi - there's a broad range of experiences wrapped up in three days. 🌊
We’re looking forward to more programs unfolding in 2025 – watch this space. 😎

“Never take no for an answer and never give up. If you really believe in what you're doing, and you're really keen, then you'll succeed. It's as simple as that.”
- Sir Peter Blake
Sir Peter Blake was New Zealand’s most celebrated yachtsman who led his team and New Zealand to victory in both the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race and the America’s Cup. He was also a passionate and relentless champion for the environment, having spent his life on the ocean.
At BLAKE we are honoured to continue his legacy, inspiring environmental leadership and drawing attention to the challenges facing our environment today.
