Envirokids: Connecting kiwi kids to our environmental community. This is a free Saturday program for 5-13 year olds. Environment-focused activities will be available between 10am and 3pm in and around The Kiosk in Christchurch Botanic Gardens.
For kids interested in all things environmental, the Envirokids
programme provides a chance to join a range of activities,
meet other Envirokids, and most of all, have fun doing it!
Different environmental groups are hosted by Envirokids every Saturday, each with different environment-themed activities!
Each Saturday session involves educational and fun, group-based activities for 6 – 13 year olds.
Kids have the opportunity to collect stamps in a passbook and record their own Envirokids journey.
Kids can bring along their own pre-loved items and turn them into creative Envirokids merchandise!
Envirokids is a year-round programme run by Christchurch Envirohub Trust. Every week, we provide different environment themed activities for children. When possible, we host a group (or combination of groups) from our networks that specialise in working with children in the environment sector.
Envirokids is currently based in The Kiosk in the beautiful surrounds of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens (postcode Christchurch 8011).
The Kiosk is marked on the map, below, as Christchurch Envirohub. We share this venue with Friends of the Botanic Gardens and Canterbury Horticultural Society.
A facilitator from Envirokids will be on site and available during every session. They will be there to welcome you, sign you in, and ensure any questions you have are answered.
While we encourage you to join us at the kiosk at the start of the session (10am), there is no obligation to stay until the end (1pm). Drop-in style attendance is possible depending on the group.
Wherever possible, sessions will be run by the organisation/s being hosted on that day. On occasion, the Envirokids facilitator will run the session.
Parents, guardians, or carers must remain on site with the children they are responsible for at all times. This includes sessions that are being run outside in the gardens.
Christchurch Envirokids is a registered Learning Destination with Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University New Zealand. The Kiosk is also a Learning Destination for the Canterbury Horticultural Society, our venue partner!
