Testimonials
My kids had a great time! I found the course to be so informative, in such an easy to follow, and enthusiastic way, it was great for all abilities and surprised myself with just how interested I was myself, to learn. It was promoted in universal language to cater for everyone’s ability and to encourage having a go. The other benefits of doing the course is that we were all outside, together, discussing, interested and learning. We are continuing to practice what we learnt, and the boys are very interested to learn more skills in navigation. This is absolutely value for money! It is very affordable, and we can do it anytime it suits our family.” Yvette Amazing experience for my 8 year old son. He learnt so many different things and was so engaged in all of the activities! He tells me constantly about all the things he learnt. Thank you so much for being so involved with all the children and making them feel comfortable! He had a blast and wants to participate again if the opportunity arises again! Highly recommend! Kahlia We had a fabulous time and this course is truly exemplary. I so support what you are doing and I see it is coming from your heart and also that you genuinely enjoy interacting with the kids! You were able to patiently guide them to each achieve the different activities so they felt that achievement personally, flint, compass making, water filtration etc. and they got such a kick out of that personal achievement. Your course is able to keep them engaged by creating a string of interesting, achievable and meaningful survival activities for the kids. KristenDiscover nature’s gifts and beauty
The Mission
Our mission is to help parents, kids and families engage and connect with nature. What we learn in nature has overflowing benefits into many other aspects of life.
We need to foster the next generation to be environmental custodians that restore and maintain the natural resources and beauty that nature offers. The best place to build communities and populations that are environmentally responsible is within the family unit, which will then extend and have a multi-generational influence.
There is the need to find a balance with a technologically advancing world and our natural world – one cannot exist without the other.
