Punk Caterpillar is a small, grass-roots bush school founded in 2021 by Nectar Connector, a qualified generalist primary teacher, PE and yoga teacher, graduate of both The Wild School regenerative leadership program and the Nature Apprentice nature-based leadership program along with being a parent, event organiser and traveler.
With over 20 year experience working with kids in diverse settings along with mentoring on Nature Philosophy's Wild Village camps, Firekeepers Camp, and nature based gatherings across Victoria and NSW Nectar brings a deep passion for connection with place, the elements, ceremony, food and FUN. She weaves play, games, bushcraft, wandering and freedom into a vibrant learning and connection space where children can explore, belong and thrive.
