A SUMMARY

*Our concluding session would normally be a full day on the last weekend of term, but due to that landing on a Bank Holiday weekend, we have moved the full day session forward!* At this session, we are going to go to the deeper levels of nature connection and outdoor skills that cannot be learnt in an hour session, or in a day, or even a week. This is about long term change, learning new skills/awareness when the children are ready, unlike traditional teaching methods. Here, we follow the children's interests and curiosities.

About your Mentor

Seeking Wild

Seeking Wild has been set up to connect children back to nature. Facilitating a space for children to explore, play and learn in a wilder environment.

Such as Bushcraft, Natural Movement and Nature Connection, through workshops, mentors and self study. What I love most is exposing children to new...

Learning aims

Develop a deeper understanding and connection to the natural world.

Strengths to develop
