Description
Join us for a full-day Bush Survival Challenge Workshop at Gresswell Forest Reserve in Bundoora these school holidays!
Your child will immerse themselves in the wild, learning essential bush survival and bushcraft skills and challenges to test their skills throughout the day. They’ll connect with nature while making new friends and discovering their own abilities. This workshop will include lots of walking in the morning
Some of the challenges that the day will include are;
-
- Shelter building
- Navigation and maps
- 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
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 Gresswell Forest Reserve in Bundoora and led by Adam.
Adam is the founder of Eco Explorers and has been delivering bush programs to families for over two years. 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.
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.
Ages: 6-12 years
*This is a drop off session only. (Please contact us beforehand if your child has any additional requirements)
