JDP programs offer students the opportunity to pursue development opportunities, search for the awe in every day and take the time to fully lay back in nature’s embrace. A hike is often much more than a hike, it’s a right of passage, a lifetime memory and often the start of a lifelong love for the outdoors.

At JDP we consider it a privilege to be able to provide this introduction to the outdoors to young people.

Journey Development Programs provides fully resourced hike programs for beginners through to experienced students. Our facilitation crew are passionate about the awe-inspiring destinations they visit but more importantly they are passionate about the students’ individual journeys and development.

All JDP programs are underpinned by quality gear (One Planet), experienced crew, QTF Adventure Activity provider accreditation and Parks Vic Tour Operating Licences. 

We offered varied levels of Journey programs that can be either 3 day/2 nights or a full week. The difficulty and challenge can be altered to suit your school and cohort and will depend on the previous experiences in the outdoor education space.

We have available dates throughout 2022 and would love to discuss the possibility of a journey with you and your School.
