Jack Hunt
Camp Instructor
I love the outdoors, especially mountain biking, running, hiking and hunting. I’m passionate about mountain biking and I work part time doing trail maintenance and as a bicycle technician, as well as running activities for kids at Ranui Farm Park. I am currently on gold for the Duke of Edinburgh award and as part of this I have been lucky enough to go on the Spirit of Adventure and to Outward Bound. These adventures have improved my confidence, life-experience and leadership skills.
