Auckland

Talking Tree Hill (TTH) is an outdoor educational facility based on Waiheke island, New Zealand. TTH combines the wacky conscious creativity of Dr Seuss, the heart and soul of forest and bush schools, the entrepreneurship and innovation of the Green School and the beauty of Reggio Emilia.

Over the past 4 1/2 years we have created an 18 acre outdoor educational facility where children partake in one day schools, after school programmes and holiday programmes. We call these unique experiences Playshops. Playshops let kids and the planet grow. We challenge children to be themselves, to ‘sit in their element’… creating, innovating, moving, laughing and loving. It’s the work of kids!

TTH is determined to make the Playshops available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances - this goal of social equality is a key component of everything TTH does. We know that for some the cost of accessing this educational goodness is prohibitive,so are looking to offer scholarships to children in need. Your donation helps us to keep outdoor education and creative nature play accessible to everyone, on Waiheke Island and beyond.
