Description

Come and join us these school holidays for a full day in the bush. This workshop will offer children the opportunity to connect with nature while learning practical skills such as shelter building, safe tool use, rope knots, fire lighting (demonstration), camouflage, and bush survival awareness.

Join us for a full day of uninterrupted wild bush play, exploring, creating, and learning 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.

Located in Warrandyte 28 km north-east of Melbourne’s CDB, in a beautiful bush setting. It will be a fun and adventurous day with a bush walk to learn about the plants and wildlife, learn to track, play games, do plenty of climbing and best of all, make some awesome new friends!

Some of the other activities that the children may also do at forest school are;

- Bush walk discovering local fauna and flora
- How to stay safe in the bush
- Snake awareness and safety
- Learn rope knots and construction.
- 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 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.

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.
