Do you have a child that LOVES TOOLS? Then this workshop is for them!
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 connects your child to nature in a deep and meaningful way.
Located at Banksia Park in Bulleen, children will be learning how to use tools and have plenty of opportunities to construct and build with our loose parts.
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 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 held at Banksia Park in Bulleen and led by Adam.

He spent his entire childhood living and camping in the bush; climbing mountains, exploring rivers, learning to fish, track, make fires and to survive. He is also a forest school leader and has a background in Outdoor Education.
