Come and join us for an afternoon connecting to nature and making damper around a campfire at Birrarung Park in Bulleen.
This workshop is a chance for children and families to slow down and enjoy the simpler things in life. We’ll be making some tasty damper on the fire. It’s like going camping without all the packing! We’ll also share some stories, maybe a few jokes around the fire and finish the session with our popular fire keepers game.
If your child loves camping and the outdoors, then this workshop is for them!
This workshop is run by Forest School leader Penny.
Research clearly shows that the more time children spend outdoors, then better they are prepared for school and life. Spending time outdoors is essential for normal development and a healthy childhood.
Our bush programs enable children to be kids, to get muddy and dirty and learn through real hands on experiences. We provide opportunities for families to completely immerse themselves in the outdoors, which is an excellent way to improve mental health, physical wellness and build strong relationships with others.
Eco Explorers 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 strong wind.
Ages: 4-10 years
*Parents are required to attend and are responsible for their children at all times.
