  • Session - 1 Bush Kids (6 weeks)
     26/07/2024 - 30/08/2024
     10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us for our Term 3 2024 6 week Bush Kids Forest School program at Braeside Park in Braeside.

Our Bush Kids Forest School program incorporates hands on learning, adventurous play, bush walks discovering local flora and fauna. We introduce children to bush survival and bushcraft skills, how to safely use tools, incorporate ecological and nature connection games and how to become custodians of the natural world through the development of their love of nature. Bush Kids prepares children for the next stage of their lives and is a natural progression after Bush Playgroup with Eco Explorers.

This program is led by Amy. Having majored in Marine Biology and Zoology, Amy loves sharing in the wonder of discovery with young learners. A frequent visitor to Braeside park with her own young family, she’s scoped all the good log balancing spots, has got a keen eye for spotting the resident family of Tawny Frogmouths and will delight in finding insects and signs of wildlife alongside you and your children.

Our program has been developed to give your child optimum opportunity to build their gross motor and physical skills through climbing, balancing, walking and fine motor skills during our craft activities. Research clearly shows that the more time your child spends in nature, the better they are prepared for school, both physically and emotionally.

Eco Explorers an all weather outdoor program so you need to make sure you bring and wear appropriate weather protection and clothing. Our program will only be cancelled in the event of an extreme weather warning; fire, storm, high temperatures and strong wind.
