About Us

The South Canterbury Tramping Club was formed in 1972 by a group of like-minded  individuals with a love of the outdoors.  

Today membership is around 50 with ages ranging from teens to “quite old”.

Trip Information

We organise trips to cater for people of differing levels of fitness and tramping experience.

The trips range from easy to hard, and comprise a mixture of day, weekend and multi-day trips.

Transport is by club members’ private vehicles, with running costs shared between participants.

The club has some gear (billies, cookers, packs and tents) available for use by members.
