Ocean Explorers - Burleigh Waters

🌊🐠 Ocean Explorers – A Creative Kids Resilience Session

Join us for a fun, hands-on two-hour session where children (Prep to Year 6) and their caregivers dive into a world of underwater wonders through ocean-inspired activities, games, art and craft.

Using the theme of Ocean Explorers, children will discover the amazing world beneath the waves while building confidence, creativity, teamwork and resilience. Through creative challenges and hands-on activities, they'll explore marine life, discover ways to care for our oceans, work together and solve problems in fun and imaginative ways.

Parents and carers are encouraged to join in, creating a relaxed and supportive space where families can connect, explore and enjoy the activities together.

🐬 What to Expect

Children will take part in ocean-inspired art and craft, creative challenges, games and interactive activities designed to encourage curiosity, imagination and connection.

Activities will focus on building confidence, resilience, teamwork and problem-solving while exploring the wonders of our oceans and the creatures that call them home.

There's no pressure to participate in any particular way. Children are welcome to engage at their own pace and simply have fun!

🍕 Bonus

We'll wrap up with pizza for everyone to share and enjoy together!

🎒 What to Bring

A drink bottle and a light snack for the short break.

Comfy clothes and closed-in shoes suitable for creating, exploring and playing. Things might get a little messy!

🐠 Who is it for?

This workshop is designed for children in Prep to Year 6 and their caregivers. It's ideal for children who enjoy creating, exploring and discovering new things through hands-on activities, while building confidence, social connections and resilience in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Our trained facilitators create a welcoming space where every child can participate, learn and have fun in their own way.

We encourage parent and caregiver participation to get the most out of the workshop, but it is not mandatory.
