Our Spring Holiday Program includes:
- Mini Wild Wander and Clay Creations and Waterbug Wonderland family sessions for all ages.
- Floras Labyrinth Adventure and Puggle Club for children aged 2-5.
- Nature Journal Workshop and Waterbug Wonderland for children aged 5-7.
- Giants and Lookouts Quest and Frog-tastic Pond Explorersfor children aged 7-10.
Give your child a great opportunity to explore, ask questions, be creative and learn through active play in nature. Families can expect a supportive, inclusive and engaging experience, with plenty of time for discovery, laughter and fresh air.
Bookings are essential, and places are limited. Small groups mean every child spends time with our educators and the bush itself, so once a session is full, it's full.
All activities are held outdoors. Please make sure all children wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking and playing outside (no sandals/thongs), and bring a water bottle, sun protection, a raincoat and a warm layer. We encourage families to be always ready for our changing Hobart weather and ready for an adventure.
Some walks include steep and rough tracks, so if you're unsure whether a session is right for your child or family, please get in touch and we can talk it through.
We look forward to welcoming your family outdoors this Spring.
