Kids in Nature - Winter @ CERES

Join us for Kids in Nature @ CERES this Winter!

This winter school holidays, we're inviting families to rug up, head outdoors and discover the magic of nature in the colder months. At CERES Environment Park in Brunswick East, children will explore bushland and wetlands, discover hidden wildlife, build shelters, investigate waterways, create nature-inspired artworks and connect with the season through hands-on outdoor adventures. Along the way, they'll be encouraged to get curious, try new things, build confidence and deepen their connection with the natural world through creativity, play and discovery.

To support different age groups, we're offering morning sessions for ages 2–5 and afternoon sessions for ages 6–12. A parent or caregiver must attend with their child.

Morning Sessions | 10:00am–12:00pm: Ages 2–5

Afternoon Sessions | 1:00pm–3:00pm: Ages 6–12
