Description
Join us in Term 2 2026 for our Bush Kids Forest School families program (10 sessions) at Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary in Bundoora, situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People. Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful space where children and families can connect with nature and explore Australian wildlife up close. The sanctuary is home to a variety of native animals and plants, offering lots of opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery.
Imagine gathering each week in the bush, discovering the warmth of a campfire as the weather cools, the smell of lemon myrtle tea or hot chocolate and the sound of laughter, birdsong and stories. Here, children and families will uncover ancient fire skills, tool use, and the pure joy of discovery, creativity, and connection with the natural world.
Some of the activities that will be included in our Bush Kids Forest School program are:
-
-
- Campfires, cooking and fire skills
