A one-day nature school in Marlborough, Aotearoa

Ready for the day

Packed, named and ready.

A full day outside means planning for changing weather, mud, lunch and a change of clothes.

Every session

Name your child’s belongings and pack them in a bag they can carry.

  • Refillable water bottle
  • Packed lunch and snacks
  • A complete change of clothes in a separate bag
  • Raincoat, weather-appropriate layers and outdoor footwear

Add what the weather calls for

In warmer weather, pack a sunhat and sun protection. In colder weather, add warm base layers, a jacket, warm socks and a beanie. Waterproof outer layers help on wet days.

Read the clothing policy

Kai, together

Bring lunch and snacks. The source also describes an optional shared meal over the fire in cooler terms; confirm ingredients and dietary needs with the team before relying on it.

Leave personal tools at home

Tools are provided and used with guidance. The source asks children not to bring their own knives or sharp tools. Electronic devices stay out of general activities; discuss any access needs with the team.
