We gather in 6-week Seasonal Cycles. Unlike traditional programs, we dance to the rhythm of the land, following the ancient wisdom of the D'harawal people, graciously shared with permission by Aunty Francis Bodkin. By immersing ourselves in nature's embrace over these cycles, we don't just form a community - we become stewards of the earth and each other. Continuity in relationship with children, adults and Country enables us to build on inquiry, lean into collaboration and notice changes over time. Our 2024 dates are:
* 21 May - 28 June
* 16 July - 23 Aug
*10 Sept - 18 Oct
* 5 Nov - 13 Dec
* Summer holiday program 18-20 Dec + 8-25 Jan

Come and hear the laughter echoing through the bush shelter in Bugong as we gather for another day of adventure, bushcraft and nature play. Join us as we explore the picturesque landscapes and ecosystems of Gerringong, Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, Bomaderry, and North Nowra. Together, let's weave experiences of wonder and awe amidst the whispering trees and babbling creeks. Register here for your nature immersion experience: www.bookeo.com/natureplay

COLLABORATE | Nature play nurtures resilience, curiosity and confidence.

Our mixed-aged groups support children engage in developmentally appropriate challenge, supported by an encouraging family of friends. Children share their individual passions and knowledge with each other in peer-to-peer teaching. And together, we negotiate leadership, turn-taking, advocacy and compromise.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY SESSONS | they're filling up and tickets are limited — grab your spot and let the wild fun begin! Nature art, bushcraft skills and creek paddling await.

We are intentionally small groups with a high 1:8 adult to child ratio so we can engage in risky play, hands-on activities and offer children lots of choice. Your child self-directs their day at their own pace.
