Description
Join us in Term 1 2026 for our Bush Kids Forest School families program (10 sessions) at Gresswell Forest Reserve in Bundoora, on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People, where children can wander among towering trees, discover hidden creeks, and engage in hands-on nature play and forest school adventures in a peaceful bushland setting.
Our exciting new summer programs offer hands-on STEM nature learning through engaging hands-on activities, adventurous and risky play, and bush walks that help children connect with and learn about the local flora and fauna.
