Over the next few months, we will be making the most of the warmer months with our muddy-footed rascals, slug-botherers, fidgets, daydreamers and daredevils!
The Saturday clubs are an opportunity for kids to be kids, run wild and free, learn life skills, connect to nature, form friendships and have everyday adventures. What shape those adventures take depends on what sparks the children’s imaginations.
Typical activities include: team games, sensory and imaginative play, green woodworking, bushcraft, nature exploration, making assault courses, mud kitchen, climbing, woodland conservation, natural crafts, and campfire cooking. From time to time, Mighty Oaks have a wild camp out.
Not-so-typical activities include: enjoying a feast of “everything that looks disgusting but tastes delicious!”, making ink from a burnt pie then doing calligraphy with it, mud-river races, sleeping up a tree in home-made bunk-bed, and becoming a “human-handbag-burrito”.
Basically, if children can dream it up; if it’s legal and safe for man, beast and tree, then we will attempt it!
