Programme

Nature is a captivating playground for our Keas. It’s time to craft binoculars and embark on a nature adventure exploring the natural world that surrounds us to discover winter wonders and develop observation skills.

Growing seedlings in egg cartons can be both fun and rewarding. In this meet our Keas will learn about germination and nature’s way of bringing life to the world. We'll then create a mini garden to watch the transformation from a dormant seed to a vibrant plant over the following weeks.

Forests are like Earth’s natural water factories - they collect, store, and distribute water to keep everything thriving. In this meet we’ll discover some of the watery highways that flow through forests. Then it's time to set sail by letting your creativity flow and making your own miniature raft using twigs, flax, leaves and grasses and watch it float downstream.

Bundle up as we embark on a night hike through Eaves Bush Path, located at the northern end of Orewa, to connect with nature and discover its wonders!

Nature inspires creativity and in this meet Keas will explore textures and patterns in forest items with paints to ignite artistic expression making Fathers Day gifts.

Making an outdoor shelter is an exciting and educational adventure. In this meet, Keas will explore the different methods and approaches to shelter building, before constructing their own outdoor shelters using natural materials.

Sustainable paper production is vital for forests and ecosystems. In this meet our Keas will explore the processes of making paper, then create their own paper experimenting with colours, textures and additives in a fun sensory project.
