It’s time to get kids off the screens and into our Bush Kids Forest School Program these school holidays! They’ll learn life skills and how to use real tools while making friends and building confidence.

Join wilderness camp leader/Early Childhood Educator Ashlee in this hands-on workshop where kids learn essential rope and bush skills such as tying various rope knots, learning to make their own cordage and then making constructions out of sticks, branches and wood. The kids will start off with simple designs and then build more elaborate constructions.  The possibilities for creations are endless and some examples of the things they may make are; rope swings, ladders, seats, cubbies, weaving frames, necklaces, mini boats/rafts and baskets.

Through giving children small achievable tasks to complete, they learn to become more independent while developing self-esteem and learning to assess risk and make sensible and informed decisions about how to deal with unfamiliar and unpredictable situations. The children will work both independently and as a team and take these skills home with them that can use anytime in the bush.

Ages: 4 – 14 years
