Holiday Programmes

Our school holiday sessions are a chance for your child to experience full immersion nature, craft and fun! We introduce children to many materials and processes, and give them time and support to learn a new skill if they are interested to do so. They also have time to relax and unwind from busy routines, to climb a tree, play with friends and paddle in our ponds. Unforgettable memories are forged, and often new friendships too.

BOOK

Woodcraft

Create a lock box, or small garden box, or whatever you'd like to try at our well-equipped woodwork table. Whittle a smooth staff or something a little more challenging..

Fire lighting

Learn about fire safety and burn first aid, practice with flint and steel and matches. Make a fire starter, and practice lighting a fire - trickier than you might think!

Clay Work

Clay is a fantastic way to introduce children to the world of art, and our clay craft for kids is the perfect hands-on activity. Extra special creations are sent to the kiln and can be taken home.

Sewing and Leatherwork

Learn to use our fabulous old hand-operated Singer sewing machines, make a stuffed toy or cushion, or anything else you can dream up!

Cooking

Cook pancakes, damper and soup from scratch in our children-sized kitchen. Practice your fire-lighting and clean-up skills!

Get muddy!

We encourage the kids to dive right into all activities at the land. Don't worry about getting muddy or wet! We love a good mud or water fight and making a slippery slide to wizzz down!

Candle making

Make a weird and wonderful beeswax candle. Learn about wicks, viscosity, bees and wax.

Bow and arrows

Harvest bamboo, measure and cut to length, learn some new knots, learn how to fletch an arrow, and then... see how far you can shoot your arrow!

Hut and Teepee building
