Do the kids go a little wild over the School holidays?
Send them to our ReWild School Holiday Workshops, Kids gone Wild for a unique day of fun and adventure in the bush.
Our School Holiday workshops are designed especially for kids. They will learn wilderness survival skills, reconnect with nature and have a heap of fun at the same time!
What we do during the workshops.
We meet at the 3 Wishes Farm Homestead where we have some intro games and talk about general safety before heading out into the bush.
​
To begin our adventure we cross a bamboo bridge over the Tweed River and head to our bush camp.
​
On the way we do activities such as identifing useful resources in the environment and play some sensory awareness games to get everyone to focus in on the environment around us.
​​
Once at the bush camp we break for morning tea, do some more activities and head down to have lunch by the Tweed River.
In Summer we often have a swim, so pack some swimmers and a towel.
Then it's time for afternoon activities before heading back to the homstead to meet the parents.

Wild 2 - Thursday 14th January 2021
​
This workshop is all about life skills as opposed to "survival skills". We discover a range of skills used daily by ancestral people from all over the world.
We cover topic's including:-
-
primitive hunting, trapping and animal tracking methods
We'll try to trap and release fish, eel's and yabbies from the river
-
look at bird traps, snares and a range of traditional weapons used worldwide by our ancestors
Spear making activity - your child will be given a comprehensive knife safety lesson. They then harvest, de-bark, sharpen and then fire harden their very own spear to keep (if it's ok with parents that is ;))
*No live traps other than catch and release fish traps are used during the day, so no harm whatsoever is done to local fauna.

*Suitable for kids aged 7 - 14 yrs
