Description
Join us for a full day of uninterrupted wild bush play, learning bush survival and bushcraft skills at at Gresswell Forest Reserve in Bundoora these school holidays!
We’ll explore, create, and learn bush survival and bushcraft skills through hands-on activities that are fun and engaging and connect your child to nature in a deep and meaningful way. During this workshop, children will have a chance to create their own primitive tool and try their hand at whittling wood or brush up on their exisiting skills.
Some of the other activities that the children may also do at forest school are;
-
- Learn rope knots and construction.
- Whittling & tool making
- Bush survival and snake safety.
- Nature connection games
- Eco art & craft
Our team of highly experienced forest school educators will support your child’s learning so that they become more confident, curious, and capable and are taught to learn how to take safe risks in the bush through climbing, building and using real tools. They will also discover and learn about our natural environment and it’s fascinating wildlife.
The forest school is led by Bush Kids facilitator Kirsty.
Forest school Melbourne is an all-weather outdoor program so you need to make sure you bring appropriate weather protection and clothing. Our program will only be cancelled in the event of an extreme weather warning; fire, storm, high temperatures and severe wind.
