Aspiring Lodge is an outstanding resource for outdoor education for OBHS students. Contribute to its ongoing development.
Set in the picturesque Matukituki Valley and adjacent to some of the most outstanding natural features of the Southern Alps, including the Rob Roy Glacier, Diamond Lakes and the Matukituki River itself, Aspiring Lodge has provided a unique outdoor retreat for hundreds of boys. Farm land was acquired in the 1970s by dint of an Act of Parliament and the Lodge built by keen student and staff volunteers over the next few decades.
The current development project seeks to construct a suspension bridge across McPherson Creek to provide safer access to the Lodge. Initial design and planning work is expected to be undertaken in the first half of 2025. Upgrades to the kitchen facilities are also scheduled for 2025 or later as funds allow.
