-Nature Explorers-
A Program Designed by the Children

The Nature Explorers Program encourages children to develop a deep connection with the land, guided by Aboriginal perspectives on caring for Country. Through hands-on experiences, children will engage with the natural environment, learning to observe local plants and animals while understanding the importance of sustainability and respect for nature.

Children will participate in guided bushwalks, outdoor investigations, and seasonal projects that highlight Indigenous knowledge of the land, cycles, and ecosystems. They will explore traditional ways of using native plants, learn about the significance of local wildlife, and develop an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things.

Our program embraces risky play—an element essential to childhood development. Jumping off rocks, climbing trees, balancing on logs—these activities build resilience, strength, and confidence. Risk-taking in a supervised environment allows children to assess their own limits, make informed decisions, and develop perseverance.

We embrace all weather play as it offers the opportunity to observe first hand how the environment evolves with the seasons, sparking conversations about why flowers bloom in spring and how the landscape changes throughout the year.

These experiences nurture curiosity, sensory awareness, and a deeper appreciation for nature in all of its beauty.
