Before You Apply For ABS






 

 

Before you apply "PLEASE" read this

Regulations:

 The Adventure Bible School (ABS) is run on a “need to know basis”, so you will not know what you will be doing from moment to moment, day to day. From your exercise in the morning to night-fall there will always be an element of surprise. This does not mean that we have not planned it!

The activities are run according to NZOIA ( NZ Outdoor Instructors Association www.nzoia. org.nz) standards. With NZOIA qualified instructors. Staff are trained in first aid and safety management. Safety is one of our primary concerns at all times.

Due to the nature of the outdoor environment in New Zealand we reserve the right to change activities as we see fit to maintain safety. We also reserve the right to exclude students from activities if we feel safety or well being might be at risk.

Health:

This is an outdoor course with a high level of activity, while you don't need to be an expert you do need to be physically able. (If in doubt please contact us) If you are carrying injuries, you may be excluded from certain activities for safety reasons.

If you suffer from Bi polar disorder this course will place significant stress on you. We recommend that you do not apply.

If you suffer from an eating disorder you will probably be excluded from some activities for safety reasons.

We reserve the right to remove students from the course who have not disclosed medical or health conditions in their application forms. We also reserve the right to remove students from the course at any time for safety reasons.

 

What do I bring on ABS

There is some special equipment that you need to bring to complete a successful ABS course. Because it is out doors and in all weathers and places etc it is essential to have the right stuff for the job. You can purchase it here in NZ when you get here but is recommended to bring it with you as costs can differ between countries.  Please check out the list link below for more details.
