Queen Elizabeth College's Outdoor Education Programme provides a progression of experiences and skills throughout the year levels in a wide range of activities.

Building water confidence begins with Year 9 students learning to kayak on still water.
Year 10 students are introduced to rafting and this experience leads to rafting and kayaking at Mangaweka for Year 11 students. Year 12 students go sailing in the Marlborough Sounds and in Year 13 the students have the confidence to kayak down rivers.
