Callan Park Bush School Thursdays 2025 (2.5 - 5 year-olds)

We heard your requests, and we’re excited to announce that our popular Bush School program is continuing at Callan Park! 
 
Bush School is an outdoor program that gets children moving, creating, and thinking in a stimulating natural environment, giving them a chance to explore, discover, connect with nature and learn at their own pace. 
 
The program is designed to inspire a love and respect for the natural world in children through outdoor exploration, bushcraft activities, and storytelling.   

After just a few sessions, your child may start to experience the benefits of connecting with nature such as increased creativity, confidence, attention span, and sense of responsibility in the great outdoors. 

Led by experienced Educators, this nature play program for children aged 2.5 to 5 years and their caregivers reconnects families with nature in Callan Park's beautiful surroundings. 
  

Age: Children 2.5 – 5 years 

Meeting point: Our Bush School site is located on the grass beside the Summerhouse in Callan Park.
