Natural Journeys

Natural Journeys is a mixed age drop off Nature Immersion program for 3-12 year olds.

During these sessions we are able to slow down and build relationships with each other and the environment. Each week we build on child-led interests to facilitate deep investigation in the areas of each child's passions.

These sessions allow children the opportunity to explore, imagine and engage with the natural environment and 'wild spaces'.

​

Through play and shared investigation, children are able to develop solid foundations for life-long learning. They build confidence, resilience, collaboration and critical thinking skills as they follow their interests and passions together.

Older children benefit by developing leadership skills as they support, mentor and guide younger children, while the younger children benefit from the role models and support of older children.

These mixed age groups beautifully represent the community and social values inherent to childhood learning found within indigenous communities around the world.

​

Some possible activities might include:
• shelter-building
• tool work
• bushcraft
• environmental activities
• fire building
• seasonal observations

​

The sessions are democratically led by the children and supported by qualified and experienced mentors.
