Immerse your child in nature

Our Wilder Holiday Club offers days jam-packed with activities designed to inspire and develop your child’s love of nature: from pond dipping to mini-beast hunts, from nature inspired crafts to campfire building. There will be more than enough to keep your children busy for the day and no two sessions are ever the same!

A day for creating memories

Parents can drop their children off for the day safe in the knowledge that they will be in a safe, secure and stimulating environment with our experienced Education Officers, exploring the nature reserve, learning new skills, making new friends and creating memories that last.

“My little one came back full of stories of what she had done during the day. For me it was easy to organise, pay for and on drop off I was confident in leaving her in your care.”

"The activities seemed amazing - lots of stories of outdoor exploration. Kind and friendly leaders."

"Thanks again for some great summer holiday days, and inspiring teaching about nature."

“What an amazing opportunity for kids to be with nature!”

“Fantastic club and amazing staff!”

"My children had a brilliant time! One of the very few camps they've attended where they really want to come again!"
