Our mission is to foster rich learning experiences, ecological literacy, Social literacy and healthy living by connecting children & families to nature through the use of crafting & exploring nature. 

Our vision is for all kids to play and learn in their local bush, creeks, meadows, farms, mountains, and shorelines with skilled educators who understand the power & importance of play with an overarching goal of finding joy & contributing to a more connected & sustainable world. 

At Craftlab NZ the emphasis is on authentic outdoor learning. There are many benefits to being outside, both physically and mentally.  Through crafting & exploring we believe that deep and meaningful connections are made to not only the natural environment but also to self & others. We specialise in bringing traditional curriculum areas such as literacy, arts, numeracy, science & Hauora (Mental Health) alive in a creative , joyful & meaningful context
