Waharau Outdoor Education Centre is a fully self-contained camp situated near the Waihihi Stream in the Hunua Ranges, within Waharau Regional Park on the Firth of Thames coast.

It was established to serve school and youth groups, conferences, seminars, and adult retreats on a non-profit basis, with a mission to foster conservation awareness and outdoor education.

The centre offers a wide range of activities including orienteering, cross-country running, mountain biking, kayaking, sailing, swimming, river crossing, ropes courses, and overnight camping. Marked loop tracks of two and five hours are also available.

The Waihihi Stream, with its shallow rocky bed and diverse aquatic life, provides a natural backdrop for exploration alongside the camp's structured programs.
