Run by Nature's Den Forest & Farm School

Our Pikao programme offers an exciting and immersive learning experience for children aged 4 to 13 years old. We are nestled within a captivating forest block on a sprawling 72-hectare dairy farm in Brookby, our programme offers children a unique opportunity to connect with nature and explore the wonders of the outdoors.
 
Our programme welcomes children aged 4 to 13 years old, recognising the importance of the tuakana-teina relationship. Older children (tuakana) act as mentors and leaders, while younger children (teina) benefit from their guidance and support. This fosters a sense of community, cooperation, and mutual respect, enhancing social, emotional, and academic growth for all participants. The tuakana-teina relationship creates a dynamic learning environment that celebrates the strengths of each child and promotes unity, empathy, and shared responsibility.
 
A typical day on the farm sees us going for a walk through the ngahere (forest) and exploring the wonderful environment, climbing trees and the big supplejack vines, whittling and carving sticks, wood working in the shed, cooking kai (food) on the campfire, creating shelters, developing tree huts, foraging, rat trapping, and many more fun activities.
 
While most of our time is spent exploring the forest, we will also explore the farm occasionally – for example, calving season is a very cool time for the tamariki as they get to engage with the calves.
 
Our programme offers a wide range of engaging activities that ignite the imagination and promote holistic development.
 
Our programme predominantly consists of child-led learning with planned activities that are based around the children’s interests. We will split into two groups occasionally and do differnt things, such as one group working with farmer Sam and a teacher, while the other group is in the ngahere (forest).
 
Drop-off time is between 8:45am – 9:00am. Pick-up time is between 2:30pm – 2:45pm.
