Nature Adventures Youth Sessions
We encourage children to feel confident in nature and believe that the experiences in the natural world support wellbeing and environmental stewardship. Through play based activities, learning and positive leadership, we hope our Wild Kind ethos will develop happy, empathetic and confident young people.

This summer our nature adventure days are on a higher welfare working farm, whilst there will hopefully be lots of opportunities to see the animals whilst we explore together, we won’t be getting up close and personal with them, this is their home and safe place, and we are just visiting and looking at them from a distance.

Accommodations and Additional Needs
We want every child to feel safe and at home with us and therefore strive to make our sessions as accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Our team have extensive experience in designing and delivering sessions suitable for those with a wide range of additional support needs; Physical health, SEND and SEMH. Small groups mean a calmer, lower-pressure environment, which often suits children who are neurodivergent, socially anxious, or who find bigger settings too much.
If you have any additional needs or requirements, please contact us by email or use the additional information box when booking and we can discuss how we can best support your child.
Tell us about your child, what they love, how they engage and and what helps them thrive and we'll work with you to make our Youth Nature Sessions a positive experience for all.
In additon
We can send over social stories and some of our staff are Makaton Level 2 trained. Please let us know if these would be helpful additions to accessibility for your child.
Please note, unfortunately our site isn't wheelchair accessible at present due to uneven terrain.
