Join our River Explorers team every Monday for a hands-on conservation adventure along one of Northamptonshire’s rivers! With guidance from trained staff and all protective gear provided, you’ll take part in safe, fully risk-assessed river cleaning activities, wildlife surveys, and water testing. Use nets to investigate what’s living in the river, learn about local ecosystems, and help protect nature—while having great fun outdoors!

About your mentors
Grow Wild Outreach
Outdoor Adventures for Every Ability
Grow Wild Outreach offers fun, inclusive holiday activities for young people with disabilities, all based in the great outdoors. Everything we do happens outside, with transport provided from local pick-up points to a different exciting outdoor location each day. Our activities include river clearing, cycling, food growing, community gardening, outdoor sports, and even an introduction to water sports! Led by experienced staff, our sessions are designed to be supportive, engaging, and confidence-boosting—giving young people the chance to explore nature, make new friends, and enjoy active, meaningful experiences during the school holidays.

Pick up and droop off
This activity takes place at different outdoor locations across Northamptonshire, so we provide transport to keep it simple and accessible for families. Our team will meet all participants at 9:00am at the Kettering swimming pool car park, London Rd, Kettering NN15 7QA where our minibus will be ready to go. We’ll return to the same location for pick-up at 3:00pm. This shared meeting point helps us bring the group together before heading out to explore the countryside and riverside sites that make this programme so special. If you have any questions or would like to talk more about your child’s needs, please get in touch with Grow Wild Outreach—we’re happy to help! info@growwild.life

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
