In today’s world children are disconnecting further and further from the natural environment. A growing body of research shows that children need active, free play in nature to stimulate their physical and emotional development, inspire their innate curiosity and creativity and to help them become more resilient.

This is an opportunity for you and your family to reconnect to the natural environment in your local area. We’ll play games and do craft activities that encourage children to have hands-on interactions with nature, noticing the sounds, smells, patterns and textures of the world around them. Join us for a morning of nature play on the beautiful shores of Manly Dam.
