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.
Spring School Holiday Programme
5-12 year olds
Monday 30th September - Friday 4th October
EXCLUDING WEDNESDAY
Spring is a time where fresh hope and new wonder appears around every little corner of nature. Join us this October for the Spring Holiday Programme where we will be tuning into change and noticing details in the impact of warmer weather to the natural environment and also in ourselves. We will be celebrating change and bringing awareness to the concept of the ebs and flows in life and looking to nature to discover ways that flora and fauna adapt through the seasons.
