Nature Play Programs
|
Our nature play sessions run under a Forest Schooling philosophy.

What your day will look like:
Each day and each group are different, we like to follow the lead of the group and see how the day unfolds. But generally… Sessions take place on our 5 ha learning farm (or at another location when appropriate). We gear up with proper footwear and mud trousers and have our welcome circle. We then take a short walk to our morning tea location and may take some time to feed and pet the animals along the way. After morning tea, we have a play in an area called “The Pines”. After playing we wash hands and decide on a plan for the rest of the day. This may involve venturing down the big hill to our stream, set in an area of re-establishing native bush. After lunch and a play, we finish our day with stories and a song. In additional sessions, as children get more comfortable in the space, we may venture to other parts of the property that are a bit further afield. Toileting: All of our areas of play have rustic compost toilet systems and handwashing stations. Accessibility: Please let us know of your group’s needs and we can create a program that will work for you in an appropriate location. |
