Timbernook Announces New Camp Provider in Wellington, New Zealand

TimberNook names new Wellington provider for popular outdoor camp that integrates sensory experiences, imagination, and nature for all children

Wellington, New Zealand, January 4th 2016—TimberNook, an innovative nature-based developmental camp for children, recently trained local entrepreneur, Kelly Mouat, to be a new Wellington based provider. Starting in January, TimberNook Wellington will offer a unique camp experience for children that is designed to foster creativity, imagination, and independent play in the great outdoors.

At TimberNook Wellington, children have the chance to play together and independently, using stories, games, and experiences to have fun, learn, develop, and explore. New provider, Kelly Mouat, believes in the TimberNook philosophy that the more children engage in self-directed play and take reasonable risks outdoors, the better equipped they are to be successful in home and school environments.

Kelly feels “TimberNook Wellington will offer a uniquely New Zealand vibe with a woolshed classroom serving as the gateway to a memorable outdoor sensory experience.” Kelly Mouat, PhD, is a trained psychologist with research experience in child and adolescent health. She and her husband grew up in rural New Zealand and strongly believe that reasonable risk-taking and playing freely outdoors is beneficial for both physical health and mental wellbeing, particularly the development of self-confidence and resilience in children. “I feel passionate about bringing this experience to children in urban New Zealand”

TimberNook’s founder Angela Hanscom is thrilled to see her idea of preventative health care for children spread to a new location. “Our dedicated providers are at the core of what we do, and we love to see unique camp opportunities that integrate movement, imagination, and nature become available to a new community of children.”
