School holidays with kids in Melbourne provides a great opportunity for kids and families to take a break from the usual routine and get outdoors to explore and enjoy the many sights, parks, activities and destinations that are at our door step. We are truly blessed to have such a diverse culture and environment with so such a variety of kids events on offer for children during the school holidays.

Looking for things to do with the kids during the school holidays? Eco Explorers runs a range of school holiday events and workshops, as well as nature play activities and resources (including free downloadables) to bring back a childhood filled with dirt, nature, messy play, adventure and excitement!

Bush Play

Our school holiday program includes sensory nature play workshops such as Bush Playgroup for children aged 1 – 6 years. This program allows children to completely immerse themselves in nature play activities, crafts, songs, stories and mindful bush walks with parents.

Bush Kids

For slightly older children, aged 4 – 10 years we run our Bush Kids school holiday program which focuses on various environmental and outdoor themes and also introduces children to Forest School activities such as tools, whittling, navigation, bush survival and bushcraft skills. Led by experienced and qualified nature mentors. These programs are also with parents/carers present and run at various National Parks across Victoria.

ReWild Your Child Forest School

If you are looking for a full day school holiday program for your child where they spend the whole day in the bush then our ReWild Your Child Forest School holiday program is for them. Suitable for children aged 6 – 12 years, our school holiday program offers children a complete bush experience (rain, hail or shine!) and includes bush survival skills such as navigation and safety, bush walk, bushcraft activities such as tools, whittling, construction, building, rope knots, yabbying, fire skills, campfire cooking, eco art and craft, nature connection games, mindfulness in nature and much much more.
