Trek for the Stars 2024

Today, one in six children in Australia and one in nine in New Zealand are living in poverty. This can seem insurmountable, but sometimes, all that people need is a chance to break the cycle of disadvantage.

Grow A Star provides young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to pursue their passions and break through the barriers holding them back. 

Join Grow A Star on an epic trek to explore the breathtaking terrain of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. You’ll join a team of like-minded adventurers united by the desire to make a change in the lives of young people. 

On this 6-day trek you’ll make your way from the colourful and chaotic Christchurch to the ultimate adventure destination of Queenstown. Every day you’ll be challenged by alpine hikes past glacial lakes, up steep mountainous slopes and through valleys, forests and snowfields.

Your efforts will be rewarded by some of New Zealand’s most spectacular sights including Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, Wanaka and the famous Tasman Glacier.

Best of all, every step of the way you will raise vital money to support Grow A Star on their mission to help disadvantaged young people follow their interests and ambitions, and make their dreams come true.
