What's on at Wild School
Wild School programmes are designed and delivered to give opportunities for children aged 3 - 12 years to spend more time outdoors, play and learn in a natural environment and have their wonder and wellness nurtured. We do this through our One Day Wild School for 5 - 12 year olds, Holiday Programmes and Wild Kindy for children aged 3 - 6/8 years old. See below for current offerings, locations, dates and how to enrol.
