Nature Play & Bushcraft Summer Sessions with Green Mountain Nature Play

Green Mountain Nature Play is offering a hands-on school holiday program designed for children who love to explore, be active and learn through real adventures in the bush. Set among acres of wild, open terrain, this immersive experience invites kids to scramble over rocks, practise bushcraft, paddle in the creek and discover the natural world at their own pace.

Each day follows a flexible plan that responds to the interests and energy of the group. With no walls to contain their curiosity, children are encouraged to stretch their capabilities within safe limits while enjoying the freedom of true outdoor play.

Activities may include:

• Nature-inspired art and craft
• Salt-dough sculpting
• Baking bread on the campfire
• Weaving and knots
• Storytelling and songs
• Building shelters or rope swings
• Whittling
• Trail games
• Archery
• Slackline balancing
• Exploring rock pools
• Identifying local birds, plants and animals

Beyond the practical skills, Nature Play places strong emphasis on connection, confidence and community. Children learn to listen deeply, speak openly, support one another and develop a genuine respect for the environment. It is an experience that feels like stepping into a big, adventurous family for the day – one that celebrates courage, kindness and the joy of being outside.

Dates for the summer School Holidays are Tuesday 20th, Wednesday 21st, Tuesday 27th & Wednesday 28th January 2026.
