Our parties can take place in many different outdoor spaces, as long as there's a wild element- the woods, a camping area, the beach!
Please make sure that any space you plan to use doesn't have an special restriction in place that would me that we couldn't use it and that you've obtained permission for us to be there before and after the part for set up and clear up.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
What if it rains?
We are lucky to have world famous weather! Occassionally, it does rain, especially depending on your location.
At Forest School Oahu we believe that there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing!
Children are also rarely bothered by the weather if they're dressed appropriately and rain can make outdoor play more fun and adventurous. Make sure to remind guests to wear clothes they don't mind getting dirty in, and to bring a change of clothes and waterproofs in case they need them.
We can also provide tarpaulins which can be tied up in the trees, and/or a small canapy if shade is needed.
The only time we would not proceed with a party is if it is safe to do so: if there are high winds, thunderstorms or other weather warnings. In the unlikely event that we are required to cancel we will rebook for a date that is mutually convenient.
​
What do I need to bring?
Forest School Oahu will bring all the materials and equipment needed for the party, including ground cover and shelter if needed.
If you would like to bring special decorations please ensure that you arrive early to set up and remove and recycle your decorations.
​
You just need to bring the keiki, food and picnic blankets (especially if you're planning to provide food and your party location is away from home). Please note we are trying hard to reduce waste at our parties, especially disposable plastic waste and we hope that parents/hosts can help us too. We can offer a plastic plate and cup hire service for $20 so that you don't need to bring any disposable party products with you. If you choose this option we'll bring the cups and plates and take them home to wash.
