Nature Explorers

Nature Explorers is a fun-filled programme of activities designed to encourage children to connect with nature, stay active, explore healthy eating, and enjoy creative crafts.

On the day, you can choose for your child to have breakfast provided. Children will also enjoy fresh fruit skewers as a healthy snack throughout the day, along with a picnic-style lunch.

Activities may include nature scavenger hunts, gardening activities, and a variety of crafts such as painting, felt butterfly making, and much more. Every session is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of the outdoors.

All activities take place in Hillside Garden, providing the perfect natural setting for children to learn, explore, and have fun.

For finding us head to Green Synergy, 49 Roman Pavement, Lincoln, LN2 5RD. Once you have arrived there head to Hillside Garden, located just 100 meters walk away, simply cross the road heading left, follow this path round and take a right turn down the pathway. The garden will be on your right hand side. If you are struggling to find us knock on the door our Community Hub.

As Nature Explorers takes place outdoors throughout the day, please check the weather forecast before attending and ensure your child is dressed appropriately. Depending on the conditions, this may include sun cream, a sun hat, a waterproof coat, wellies, and warm layers.

We have outdoor shelters in place on the garden that remain available in all weather conditions, helping us to continue activities come rain or shine.

As children will be taking part in a variety of craft activities, we recommend sending them with a bag so they have somewhere safe to store and carry home their creations.

Hillside Garden is wheelchair accessible.

If your child requires 1:1 support, we are happy for a parent, career, or support worker to attend the session alongside them to provide any additional assistance they may need. Please inform us of this when signing up for the event. Any additional people who come along to support a child will need to bring their own lunch.

When signing up your child for this event you can select whether they would like a breakfast of a Soreen malt loaf bar.
On the day we will be providing breaks with opportunities for everyone to have fruit skewers, this may include; strawberries, grapes, mango, pineapple, melon, etc. Dependent on the day.
Lunch will be the option between a cheese or ham sandwich, which you can select for your child when signing up for the event, carrot and cucumber sticks and a banana bread muffin.
Please note that when you are selecting sandwiches you have the option to bring your own, only select this option if your child is going to bring their lunch. If you select this option we will not have a lunch prepare for them.
If your child has any dietary requirements that effect the lunch provided we will contact you to discuss how we may be able to alter it.
Fresh drinking water is available throughout the day; however, we ask that all children bring a named water bottle.
