St Nicks Environment centre & local nature reserve
Book here via Eventbrite for paid places
Join us for some fun seasonal activities at St Nicks nature reserve. Learn new skills and meet new people. We’ll be based in the woodland - den building, fire lighting, using tools, making nature crafts, playing games, campfire cooking, learning about nature and plenty more. Campfire lunch (for example jacket potatoes, soup or toasted sandwiches with various fillings) and snacks will be provided. We will cater to dietary and allergy requirements.
Parents/carers are requested to stay with their children for the under 8's session.
Ideally we would like participants to attend for a block of sessions so that children can get to know St Nicks nature reserve, build friendships and develop their tool skills
If you have children who fit into both age groups of sessions (under 8's and 8-14) please attend the under 8's session to ensure safe supervision.
Timings
Meet at the St Nicks Environment centre.
10:00-12:30 – family friendly session aimed at under 8’s (children must be supervised by adults)
12:30 - 15:00 - family session aimed at 8-14 years.
Please note: If you have children who fit into both age categories please attend the under 8’s session to ensure supervision for younger children.
All our sessions take place outside in the woodland so dress according to the weather (eg. hats, warm layers, waterproofs, wellies) and wear clothes that you don't mind getting muddy. As we are in the woodland it is sometimes cooler in the shade so it is advisable to bring an extra layer.
Paid places are £7.50 per session
