“Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers;
powers that would astonish him,
that he never dreamed of possessing;
forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into
action.”

Kokoda Spirit is the
leading provider of adventure treks across the Kokoda Track in
PNG and the operator of some of the World’s Greatest Adventures.
We at Kokoda Spirit saw a need to provide an opportunity for our
adventurers to experience raw, explorative and challenging
adventures while contributing to worthwhile and purposeful
projects, charities and fundraising organisations overseas and
in Australia.
Our adventures are designed for individual participation,
groups, teams, sporting groups, community groups or corporate
organisations looking for significant and worthwhile ways to
raise funds whilst participating in exciting and challenging
adventures.
You can fundraise and join one of our major charity adventures
or develop and design your own project. This is a fantastic way
for individuals or groups to raise funds for community, group,
club or other worthwhile projects. You nominate the adventure
you want to do and the amount that you wish to raise and we make
it happen.
Kokoda Spirit provides a comprehensive and complete professional
travel and fundraising service from the development of the idea,
through to the logistics, implementation and final success of
the project.
Kokoda Spirit Charity
Fundraising FAQs
How did Kokoda Spirit Charity and
Fundraising programs come about?
Kokoda Spirit through its own Spirit Foundation and
associated organisations were seeking a more efficient and cost
effective way to maximise the fundraising potential of its
adventure programs.
The Kokoda Spirit Charity and Fundraising programs were
developed to provide a comprehensive “one stop fundraising
shop” for organisations, foundations and individuals. This
complete in-house service eliminates any need for “third party”
“Fundraising Agencies” that charge registration fees of $700
plus then outsource the adventure program!
What is a Kokoda
Spirit Charity Fundraising Adventure?
Kokoda Spirit owns, operates and organisers some of the World’s
Greatest Adventures. This allows us to organise, and tailor your
very own adventure challenge be it a trek along the Kokoda Track
or
our Bike/Trek Coast to Coast Challenge in PNG, the Sandakan
Track or Orangutan and Pygmy Elephant Safari in Borneo, the
Kimberley’s adventure, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa,
trekking up to Everest Base Camp or trekking and mountain biking
through exciting Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. We can run trips as
per our itinerary or design a specific itinerary to suit your
requirements. Kokoda Spirit is the adventure operator and
fundraising champions, so we cost effectively facilitate, create
and professionally manage all the logistics required for a
successful charity adventure challenge. This includes working
closely with the fundraising organisation in developing the
marketing, advertising and information packs to ensure the
complete success of the fundraising program. This may include
changing direction of the trek, adding or subtracting days,
adding extra destinations or focusing on key interest areas.
Whatever your requirements we can tailor the perfect tour. Every
year we arrange many Charity and Fundraising group treks across
the Kokoda Track for charities, groups of friends, family,
school groups, teams, and clubs and special interest groups.
Some of the groups have followed our existing schedules on their
own choice of dates. Many groups travel on their own itinerary,
adjusting the adventure to suit their interests’ better.
Whatever your interests, we are sure we will be able to arrange
the ideal tour!
What organisations have
you assisted?
Some recent Charity and Fundraising groups have
included or supported the following, Tally Ho Fitness group,
Kokoda Chicks (Breast Cancer Foundation), Mission Australia,
Chancellor State College, Victorian RSL, Blue Ribbon, Prostrate
Cancer, Debra Foundation, PTSD, Picking up the Pieces, Rotary
plus a host of other individual people and organisations. Kokoda
Spirit can tailor a specialised Kokoda Track or one other of our
adventure packages to suit your requirements, including dates,
direction, group size, number of trekking days, activities,
dietary requirements and other requests. We organise specialist
treks for 1 person or 100 persons the choice is yours, there is
some price variations based on the size of the group, but groups
of 7 or more qualify for our group discount. We are very
flexible in organising your requests.
What support do I get
from Kokoda Spirit with my fundraising?
Kokoda Spirit organises the complete adventure
fundraising package. We organise everything from your flights,
insurance, travel, training programs, and fundraising programs
to what to expect and gear lists. All you need to do is train
and chase your fundraising target! We can also organise
information nights for your group to discuss your requirements,
itineraries, targets, fundraising ideas and to go through the
essential gear list and preparations to ensure all members of
the group are thoroughly prepared. We can also put you in touch
with other groups to discuss successful fundraising campaigns.
When you join one of our adventures we send you a confirmation
pack which includes information on fundraising ideas, FAQ,
training programs, inclusions, general information, planning
schedules, a background of the destination and what to expect
plus comprehensive itinerary. We will also stay in contact with
you to assist in your fundraising programs and offer support and
encouragement. We also keep in monthly contact to monitor your
fitness and training programs. We are available weekdays to
assist you with support and advice.
What are the costs to
me?
We do not have any registration fee, just a straight price for
the trip depending on your selection and the required
fundraising amount required by the fundraising/charity
organisation. Some organisations charge a $700 registration fee;
this is not required by us! We also donate a further $200 to the
charity nominated. This could equate to extra fundraising per
person per trip of $900!* An average trek will have 12 people on
it which could equate to a massive $10,800 raised* for the
charity!

Spirit.
The money raised covers the trip costs and the rest goes to the

per trek the charities could be $900 per person ahead in the

the target?

support and ideas. Remember the impossible is possible! You can
