KIN Village for Teens

KIN VILLAGE - Summer

KIN Village for Teens is a ‘drop and leave’ school holiday program for 12-15 year olds, that allows older children to freely explore their world and community with the support of Nature Educators and Mentors.

Each session runs from 9am to 4pm and costs $120 per child. We have an average staff to participant ratio of 1:8. All staff have a Working with Children Check, with at least two staff at each session being first aid trained and at least one with water rescue qualifications (where applicable).

These holidays, for KIN Village Summer, we will be focusing on rafts and cubbies! No two days at KIN Village are the same, but typically they range from water based-activities such as constructing rafts for races, wars and jellyfish spotting, to land based activities such as building hammock villages, tree houses and tribes. Participants will also have the chance to use real tools, building whatever they can imagine in our Tinkering Zone.

Our Nature Educators resource the space with objects and tools participants might need to live out their adventure. They provide mentoring that observes and listens, in order to guide suggestions, resources and skill building to help participants achieve their goals. The program is designed to follow the groups natural energy levels throughout the day so that everyone can work as a team without feeling forced or held back. Children feel they are truly heard and acknowledged and are therefore more open to be guided into nature connection by our mentors.

Please note that children must have turned 12 years of age to attend this program. Sessions also running for 6-12 year olds, details on our website.
