Ready for the day
Packed, named and ready.
A full day outdoors means being ready for sunshine, rain, mud, cold and plenty of exploring. What your child needs changes with the weather.
Every session
Please name your child’s belongings and pack them in a bag they can carry.
- Refillable water bottle
- Packed lunch and snacks
- At least one complete change of clothes
- Suitable outdoor footwear and weatherproof layers
What to bring each season
Terms 1 & 4 · Warmer months Pack layers for changing weather, including a raincoat, gumboots, sunhat, sunscreen, insect repellant, swimming gear and towel. Please bring at least one spare change of clothes — two if your child loves the river. Terms 2 & 3 · Cooler months Pack warm layers or thermals, a raincoat, gumboots and at least one full change of clothes. A towel is also recommended for children who enjoy the river.
Read the clothing policyKai, together
Bring a hearty lunch, morning tea/snacks and a drink bottle every day. In Terms 2 & 3, we also cook a communal meal over the fire. Children are invited to bring an ingredient to contribute to our shared pot.
Leave personal tools at home
We provide the tools and equipment children need and teach them how to use them safely. Please leave personal knives and sharp tools at home. Electronic devices are also best left at home so children can make the most of the day outdoors.
