Feather and Frond Forest School will be running a 5 Day Nature Camp for children aged 7-12 at Cornwall Park, April 3 to April 7th!
Our Spring Break Nature Camp will provide a host of opportunities for kids to explore the natural world and have fun adventures with friends. We will be digging deep into the Book of Nature using Awareness Games, Sensory Immersion, Wild Edibles/Plant ID, Survival and Earth-based Skills, Scout Skills, Adventuring, Storytelling and more throughout the week. We will likely be getting dirty too!
Our low 6-to-1 Child-to-Mentor ratio means that your child will not be lost in the crowd and will have ample opportunity to bond with their peers and our experienced mentors. This low ratio is one of our keys to providing a top-level program for your young naturalist/adventurer!
