For Families

Come And Take A Walk On The Wild Side!

The Wild Side is an exciting new school holiday programme for 8-14-year-olds, based at our Environment Education Centre in Penwortham. It is a progressive step from our popular Eco Days scheme, teaching valuable bushcraft skills that not only entertain your little explorers, but inspire them!

We reward progress through an awards scheme where children are presented with certificates as they learn key skills.

When your little explorers attend a The Wild Side day, they will be awarded with a stamp on their collection card. As they gain skills and collect their stamps they will move through the levels and will be awarded certificates that mark their learning curve.

Activities include:
• Animal tracking
• Rope work
• Shelter building
• Green wood crafts
• Fire-starting and maintenance
• Navigation
• Campfire cooking
• Tool use

The Wild Side runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays of the school holidays. The sessions are great value for money, costing just £10 for 10am-3pm or £12 for 9am – 4pm.

Walk On The Wild Side This Easter Break...

Our next The Wild Side sessions are on 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th and 15th April. You can choose from a 9am-4pm session or 10am-3pm.

For younger children and their parents, we are also running Wild Child sessions on April 12th and 16th from 10am-12pm and 2-4pm.
