Fundraising for Ohinemahuta Nature School Limited

Ōhinemahuta Nature School is a ‘One Day School’ Forest School programme in Marlborough, designed for children aged 6-16 who thrive in hands-on, nature-based learning. Located on a private farm near Onamalutu Reserve, our school encourages child-led exploration and fosters independence in a safe, supervised natural environment.

We provide a space where children can relax, recharge, and build confidence - whether they feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, struggle in a traditional classroom, or simply love the outdoors. Our programme promotes supervised risk-taking, helping children develop autonomy and self-assurance through exciting activities like survival skills, indigenous practices, homesteading crafts, and campfire cooking.

Our wild learning curriculum integrates literacy, numeracy, and science through hands-on, experiential methods, while Māori waiata, stories, and traditional crafts help children connect with culture and heritage.

We believe every child deserves this opportunity, regardless of financial circumstances. Your donation will provide scholarships for families in need and help towards funding a shuttle service, easing transport burdens on parents and reducing environmental impact.

With your support, more children can thrive, explore, and learn in nature. Donate today and make a lasting impact!
