About the event

This summer we're offering a full day for children to explore and engage in the great outdoors! The day is packed full of activities, games and crafts to help young people connect with the fantastic natural world that surrounds them. Swing from the trees, cook up a hot treat over the fire, design an epic den, go bug hunting, get creative with mud, use hand tools and much more.

This day camp will run from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Drop-off and sign in between 9.45-10.00am.

Over the course of the day, children can expect to:

🌳 Connect with nature and learn about wildlife

🌳 Meet new like-minded friends

🌳 Create fun crafts to take home
