Led by our experienced educator and our incredible volunteers, our holiday programme offers children the chance to learn all about New Zealand’s wetlands by exploring and interacting with the plants and animals in the area. Each day gives children the opportunity be creative with natural and found materials. We keep our days flexible to allow children to follow their interests and discover more about the parts of wetlands that they are excited about. Activities include but are not limited to: scavenger hunts, hut building, eel feeding, insect and minibeast hunting, bird watching, water testing, macroinvertebrate identifying, harakeke weaving, nature crafting, kawakawa tea tasting, seed collecting and planting, and general exploring. Each day will be different, with plenty of areas to explore and learn about!

Each holiday programme day runs from 9am – 3pm at Matuku Link.

Our next holiday programme will be on Monday 20th, Tuesday 21st, Wednesday 22nd, Thursday 23rd, and Friday 24th January 2025. Bookings open in early November 2024.
