Tuesdays near Berry

Bush Tribe - 9.30am-2.00pm: a drop-off nature play and environmental education program for wild ones (4-14yrs)

Our group sizes are intentionally small to facilitate high quality social interactions and to enable risky, adventurous play.

Our drop off program is for kids who are eager to explore and push their limits (within reason). There are no walls here for these kids to bounce off.

While we arrive each day with a flexible plan, we will be learning on the hop and flowing with the interest and energy of the children on the day. There’s acres of wilderness to explore, rocks to scramble, bushcraft skills to learn and practice, and animals to track.

Outdoor recreational activities might include:

• nature-inspired art and craft 

• sculpture with clay and salt dough

• camp cooking (on gas or campfire as site and weather appropriate)

• weaving

• learning knots 

• stories or songs

• building shelters or rope swings

• whittling wood

• playing trail games

• archery

• slackline balancing

• identifying birds, plants and animals.

Bush Tribe will feel like a big fun family for your child. We lay the foundation of respect and kindness for self, each other and a reverence for Mother Nature from the very beginning of our day. Our soft skills practices will include deep listening to ourselves and to each other. We learn to be brave to speak our truth, offer knowledge when we feel called, and ask for help when we need it.

Our mentors are experienced outdoor educators who supports bushcraft skills, collaborative play and inquiry into the natural world through an emergent experience following our group's interests.

SEASONAL CYCLES

We operate in seasonal rhythms. By exploring wild spaces together over learning cycles, we form a community that supports and nurtures each other. By committing to this time, you are offering your child the chance to develop deep relationship with children, adults and Country. Our cycles enables us to build on inquiry, lean into collaboration and notice changes over time. 

If you like, book a 'come + see' session before joining the learning community!
