Born to Be Wild! Day Camp
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays
10:00 – 16:00
Getting dirty and being free in the outdoors is every child's right and duty!
Children are taught now about ecosystems and bio-diversity but these ideas can stay largely in the classroom. In our Gallivanters Grove we join all the ideas together and see how all parts of the eco-system work together, with a little bit of theory and a lot of practice. Expect soil study, beetle safaris, looking after animals, planting and teamwork.
Children become wild, resilient and independent for the day!
Price: £78 per child
Golden Barn Wood Whack (half day)
Fridays
10:00 - 13:00
Suitable for children from 6 up, boys and girls, who like to make things, want to do practical things with their hands, and be in a country outside environment. The opposite of screen time. Creative immersion, manual skills outdoors.
Gallivanters has a lot of wood (the owner is also a country tree surgeon) and last year when we started Gallivanters, we included wood whittling as part of the activities. So many wanted to spend longer there, and to come back to do it again we have developed what youngsters can do with wood and around wood.
Children should bring old gloves. We will supply the rest (knives, boards, saws, hammers, nails, screwdrivers, weaving hurdles, pliers, chisels and drills) and provide safety session on all tools.
Coaches are DBS carpenters and joiners who work with outdoor material.
Tree – hugging. Physical tree-climbing and a bit of arboreal theory. Plus how to live in trees.
Log-splitting demo from the experts. How to swing an axe. What different woods are good for – function and form. And how trees work.
