Introducing
High Ground

Hikers Ready for the Trail

We are a christian organization that take groups of people (youth, young adults, families, etc.) on multi-day backpacking trips into the wilds of New Zealand, as well as guide them on a spiritual journey tailored to the needs of the group. The goal of this is to break down the body somewhat in order to build the spirit.

We strive to be a great asset to the church in New Zealand as well as internationally. Do you think that you would benefit from spiritually and biblically guided tramp in God's beautiful creation? Contact us if you do.

What We are About

We are a non-profit outdoor ministry in New Zealand.

The goal of one of our tramps is to challenge the body and the mind, inspiring spiritual growth. Here are a few benefits to our hikes:

We work with you and your team to put together a tailored experience. Providing both guidance on the physical trail as well as in devotion and biblical study. A backpacking trip offers many opportunities for teachable moments and encounters with God through his creation.

High Ground provides much of the gear that is needed for a multi-day backpacking tramp. This makes it very accessible to those with less experience, less gear, or the ability to transport backpacking gear internationally. We also provide all of the food needed for the tramp and will work with your group leaders to fulfill any specific dietary needs of the group.

Our guides are experienced and trained in First Aid response. They will work hard to provide excellent outdoor guidance and will strive to ensure a safe and experience filled journey.
