Holiday Activity Days

Our activity days are a fun filled way to spend time during the school holidays and an opportunity to try something new and exciting.

All the activities are led by qualified and experienced Rangers.

What can you do?

Dinky Discoverers (Aged two and a Half to Six)
Wild in the Woods You and your child can use your senses to discover the natural woodland. Have a go at building a shelter for teddy, play 1,2,3 where are you? and create magic potions.

Please note: For Dinky Discoverers, Parents or carers will need to accompany their child(ren) and we require a minimum of one adult per two children. Unfortunately we are unable to have younger children accompanying during the sessions.

Intrepid Explorers (aged seven to eleven years)
Nature Detectives Become a 'nature detective' and learn to identify the tracks, trails and signs of a variety of animals. Hunt and identify minibeasts in water and on land and build a home for them.

Find your way back to the Centre following a simple map. Can you solve the quiz along the way? Collect points to exchange for equipment and food which you can use at the end of the journey to cook a snack.
