FOR TEENS

2. “The most amazing thing I have done in my life. It really pushed me to all
limits and I learned things that totally changed my life. It showed me I
am in control and I no longer believe I am a victim of life”. Jenny
Hoolihan – Wellington
“Even the Spirit of Adventure trip or being presented with the Duke of
Edinburgh’s medal by the Duke himself does not match what I have
gained from this. The Discovery learning programme has fulfilled every
promise it made”. Mark Brooker – Cambridge

TESTIMONIALS - TEENS

3. “Discovery was very much a learning experience for my son and myself…
Discovery has helped [him] mature greatly. He is now taking
responsibility for his behaviour and to ‘own’ what he says and does. For
me Parent Day was very valuable as I got to know my son again – we
certainly laid the foundations of a better relationship”. Deb Warne –
Dunedin
“The entire Discovery experience has impacted upon all aspects of our
lives in profoundly positive ways. All teenagers and their families would
benefit from this powerful programme”. Helen Lewis – Arrowtown
“Our daughter’s confidence, maturity and self-esteem has increased and
this has helped significantly in our lives. She has a new lease on life,
creating less stress for us all. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to
anyone wishing to give their children direction in their lives”. Brent
Fisher – Christchurch
