Every year Parkinson’s New Zealand runs an UPBEAT Outward Bound course. This course provides an opportunity for 12 members and 2 support officers to participate in a 6-day adventure in Anakiwa, filled with mental and physical challenges and a chance to bond with other members. The course is very rewarding, giving participants a chance to re-asses their capabilities and accomplish interesting tasks with the full support and supervision of the experienced Outward Bound team.  The 2012 UPBEAT Outward Bound course was held Monday 2 April to Saturday 7 April 2012.

The 2013 course will be 14-19 April. The course is fully subscribed however we are taking names for the 2014 course. Contact info@parkinsons.org.nz.
