What' s New for Schools in 2011
Environmental Studies
A conservation based programme that educates on the importance of conserving the land, plant management strategies and managing predators. The programme also includes elements of Maori history such as traditional ways Maori people used the land to provide food and shelter, and how they used plants for medicinal purposes. This practical element of the programme includes trying native teas, using traps and bait and planting a tree. Suitable for wet weather.
Outdoor Living Skills
As New Zealanders it is beneficial to have a general understanding of the NZ wilderness. The programme covers a basic knowledge of skills needed to be safe in the outdoors. This is valuable learning, promoting outdoor living skills and safety awareness. This activity is suitable for wet weather.
Adventure Based Learning (ABL)
Living Springs has some great learning resources which are incorporated into activities focusing on team involvement and leadership. ABL is suited all groups and ages. ABL can be indoors and outdoors and is suitable for wet weather.
Bivy Overnight
Make bivys and sleep out in the open under them! A great activity at Bush Camp (and cheaper than tenting). A fun activity that also teaches the skill of shelter building.
