Whānau International Education implements three comprehensive camp programs based on Bowen Family Systems Theory and Māori cultural values through an integrated approach of “offline camps + family support toolkits + co-creative education plans.” The Parents Awareness Camps (for parents of 0-6 year olds) focus on parental self-differentiation and intergenerational awareness through theory sessions, reflective workshops, and experiential sharing to help parents “see themselves first to understand their children.” The Parent-Child Co-parenting Camps (for families with 6-14 year olds) engage both parents and children together through family storytelling, rule co-creation, and role-reversal exercises to “co-create life rhythms and rebuild family structures.”

Core Framework & Methodology: The Youth Development Camps (for 14+ teenagers) facilitate “boundaries with love” through life story exploration, negotiation dialogues, and boundary practice, transforming parents from controllers to companions. Each series systematically unfolds 21 specific themed activities around seven growth pathways: Whakapapa (intergenerational connection), Whanaungatanga (emotional connection), Aroha (compassionate love), Manaakitanga (emotional support), Kotahitanga (collaboration), Tikanga (rituals and norms), and Tapu & Noa (boundaries and balance), guiding families through a healthy transformation from attachment to collaboration to independence.
