Join us each week for exciting Outdoor Adventure sessions where children will explore nature, learn about the world around them, and create something 'outdoorsy' to take home!
From bug hunts and scavenger trails to den building and fire safety, every session is packed with hands-on fun and discovery. Children will learn about habitats, seasons, and wildlife, while crafting unique items like clay animals, wind chimes, bird feeders, and dream catchers.
