Adventure Specialties Trust is an adventure therapy and outdoor education charity, with its Auckland office at 1/4 Winston Place in Henderson, Waitakere. It also has a physical and postal address at 71 Bamford Street in Woolston, Christchurch. The trust works with schools, community organisations and social, health and justice agencies, using outdoor adventure to help people build confidence, wellbeing and a sense of their own potential.
Its programmes are outdoor adventure courses, such as Project K, a ten-day course for ten young people run with the Graeme Dingle Foundation. Te Māhuri is a free kaupapa Māori adventure therapy programme for young people in Christchurch, run with Purapura Whetu Trust. The trust publishes stories from its programmes and events, and it is supported by donations and gifts, including gifts in wills. Because the programmes are run with partner agencies, a young person may be referred to them by a school or service rather than booking alone.
