Nelson Nature School
Learning what it means to be human
in this wild, wonderful world
The Nelson Nature School
is open for primary aged children (5-12) in Whakatū-Nelson area
to explore and grow in the outdoors as the full human beings that they are: with powerful relationships, building their personal identity with confidence, and creating a bond with mother nature that will grow with them

During the year
Every Wednesday
and Thursday
Term 1 2025
A long term programme gathering once a week in Nelson.
Child-centred and nature-focused, with small groups and experienced educators having one great day after another.
One group is a full-day immersion, another is a whānau-friendly 1.5 hour session.
Families generally enrol in consultation with their schools or from home-schooling practices. Let us know if we can help with this!
For schools
Organise a day trip out to us, or we can facilitate a trip to the school's local park
A tailor-made field trip ("bush trip"?) for primary and intermediate schools. So kids can integrate classroom learnings in the outdoors and let their hair down while staying safe.
This can be organised as a continuous programme (i.e. every Friday) or as a one-off.
RAMS forms can be made available.
Thank you! I didn't even need to ask the kids if they enjoyed it, the smiles beaming
ear to ear said it all!

The hammocks were amazing! It was so cool to drive into the school and see them all there having a shared experience. You really bring magic to this place x
