For the first time ever, we are bringing our Wild Kids – Intro to Survival Skills program to Western Sydney Parklands!

Discover what it takes to survive in the wild at this full-day workshop. Children will learn how to build shelters with tarps and knots, test water quality, understand wildlife safety and how to identify plants in the Parklands.

Get ready for a wild time full of fun, exploration, games and creativity!

This program is suitable for children aged 5-12 years.
