Tailored Programmes – Primary Schools

We can create a unique experiential learning programme that will be designed to meet your goals.

Get your students out the classroom for an organised, adventurous and engaging Experiential Learning programme!  Choose this option to get the most out of your school camp or to extend students learning on a particular unit of work.  Whenua Iti Outdoors partners with the Ministry of Education to provide Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom (LEOTC) courses that align with the New Zealand Curriculum framework.

Our experienced educators will tailor a programme to year level, specified learning objectives, school time frames and include subsidies where available to reduce the cost to schools / parents.
