School Holiday Program

The Nature School holiday programs are open to Primary School children (5-12 years) and maintains the core philosophies of The Nature School.


The Program

For Primary children aged 5-12 years.

The Nature School Vacation Care is a registered provider with the Department of Education. Our school holiday programs are designed to get children away from their desks and screens and get into nature. We facilitate activities such as exploring, bushcraft, weaving, map and compass reading, tree climbing, whittling and so much more. The program maintains the core philosophies and values of The Nature School, allowing children to explore their connection to the environment around them as well as their community. The mixed-aged group encourages children to build their empathy and social and communication skills.
