About the event

This is part of an annual programme of Wild in the Woods family sessions on Wednesdays during school holidays in Cambourne.

In this session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Cambourne Nature Reserve. This is a chance to play together with other families in the woods with a selection of ideas and resources. We might build a shelter, hunt for bugs, create natural art, or climb a tree...

This session is perfect for families with primary-aged children but older and younger siblings will enjoy them. We will adapt with the group, but please note that there are Little Bugs sessions available which are more appropriate for pre-school children.

Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Cambourne Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and sturdy shoes. The sessions will go ahead even if it rains, so you may require waterproofs. It is unlikely, but if it is especially windy or lightening is forecast, it may not be advisable to run the session. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money. Please note: there is no access to toilets for this activity

Parking information

The meeting point is a public car park. It is usually quiet, but spaces cannot be guaranteed. Alternative parking (and public toilets) can be found at Morrisons nearby.
