Testimonials

"This program is absolutely fantastic! What a way to have the kids immersed in the great outdoors and keeping them engaged for a full day in nature. The day was packed with exciting activities and practical learning. My daughter would love to attend in future."

"I was nervous about going by myself but I had fun and played with the other kids, I learnt about mustard greens a nd mad a pot out of newspapers. I also got to feed the animals and collected 2 eggs. I definitely want to go back next holidays."

"The School Holiday Program ‘A Day on the Farm’ was a great experience for my son Hugo. He got to do something he wouldn’t normally do and learnt new information presented in a fun and interesting way. A lovely way to spend the day in this tranquil and interesting environment :)"
