Kids need to be out in nature. They need to climb trees, crawl through the bushes, play in the dirt and mud, chase each other across the field, and explore the wild. Our exposure to the outdoors as children exploring the ponds, streams and fields of home had a dramatic impact on our lives. Those experiences fill us with a sense of identity and confidence that guide us in adulthood. Too often today children never get the opportunity to get to know nature and be comfortable in the outdoors.

Our holiday camps are designed to guide children on a fascinating journey of discovery and adventure whetting their interest in the what, how, which, when, and why of the natural world.

A host of nature based activities will give young children their own special outdoor experience and ways of relating to nature. Many of these activities are curriculum related and the children will gain a new perspective of science, geography, and EE. Participants will also experience nature awareness methods to quiet the mind and open the heart to a deeper experience of nature.

The adventure and outdoor survival activities will stretch their limits and unlock their potential giving them a sense of confidence and resilience as well as the ability to work and communicate well in a team. The experience will also enhance their ability to express and creatively present their ideas and experiences to a larger audience.

The impressive thing is not so much what the children learn at the end of the camp, but the joy and calmness you will see on their faces as they come away filled with enthusiasm and a sense of wonder.
