Rongoā Māori · Traditional plant knowledge
Students explored native plants, learnt to identify them and discovered their traditional uses in Māori plant medicine, alongside their cultural and environmental significance.
Workshops for schools
Bring a little wild to your school.
Practical outdoor workshops for school camps or school grounds, shaped around the group, setting and available time.
Built around your group
Workshops can be shaped around a half-day or full-day visit. Group sizes, venue requirements, supervision, pricing and availability are confirmed with the team.
A school camp example
In 2025, Seddon School invited us to Pine Valley Outdoor Centre. Students rotated through three hands-on workshops, exploring the environment and practising teamwork, problem-solving and practical skills.
Natural pigments & colour
A nature scavenger hunt led into making paints and dyes from plants and natural materials, combining observation, creativity and simple science.
Shelter building challenge
Small groups built shelters with tarpaulins, ropes and pegs. With knot-tying guides to help, they tested their designs against simulated wind and rain.
We can adapt a similar programme for your school camp or school grounds. Workshops typically run over 2–3 hours and can form part of a half-day or full-day visit. All workshops are risk-assessed, age-appropriate and led by experienced, police-vetted adults.
Tell us what you have in mind
Include your school, age group, number of children, preferred dates, venue and any access needs. We can discuss a suitable format.
