About

Our Club takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Our club is targeted at children with an adventurous spirit in need of a place to let off steam after a busy day or week of indoor instruction. We provide traditional outdoor experiences from making bows and arrows to taking care of insects and plants. We provide practical skills such as how to cook on a campfire and build a natural shelter. There is plenty of time to play and explore and make friends outdoors at our club! Like all of our programmes, these sessions have a strong influence on the development of emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and social skills. The experiences on offer during our club sessions are inspired by the natural world and its cycles, cultural celebrations and stories, risk and adventure. This helps children to develop a strong sense of their capabilities and place in the world. We work to encourage the next generation of caretakers for our planet to emerge through the personal experience of the wonder of nature. Children will be: Ready to spend time away from their primary caregivers. Able to respect the boundaries that are necessary to ensure safety in the outdoors. Physically able to play outdoors for the duration of the session in the tropical environment.
