03- Wollemi Kids Club Wednesday

Wollemi Kids Club- Nature Detectives 8th, 15th of July

Calling all curious explorers!

Wednesday is all about slowing down, observing the world around us and discovering the incredible treasures hidden in nature.

The adventure begins with our daily farm chores, where children will help feed the goats and chickens.

Next, we'll head out on a guided nature treasure hunt around the property. Children will become Nature Detectives as they search for different leaves, seed pods, textures, stones and natural wonders while learning about the plants, animals and ecosystems that make Wollemi Ridge so special.

Armed with keen eyes and a sense of curiosity, children will gather a collection of natural treasures before returning to the craft area to transform their discoveries into a beautiful hanging bush mobile.

We will sit down and have lunch together after the craft activity. You are welcome to pack a lunch or select our Kids Club lunch pack when booking.

This session encourages observation, creativity and an appreciation for the small details that make nature so fascinating.
