About the event

These sessions are great fun for children and grown ups alike and are a great way to reconnect with nature and each other in the wonderful natural setting of the Nene Wetlands Education Area.

We'll provide a selection of fun outdoor activities for families to choose from, such as pond dipping, bug hunting, den building, natural art and basic bush craft. Weather permitting, we will then finish by toasting marshmallows around our campfire.

Please bring a picnic lunch to eat during the activity.

Due to the nature of these activities, children must be at least 6 years old and supervised by an adult on a 1:1 basis. Additional children over 11 years of age may be permitted to attend at the organisers discretion. Please contact the event organiser to confirm.

Please ensure all attendees wear appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear. As we will be using fire, long hair should be tied back and clothing made from natural fibres i.e. cotton, linen or wool should be worn wherever possible.
