About the event

A day camp for 8-12 year olds outside on the beautiful nature reserve. Activities will include nature crafts like raft building or making wind dancers, shelter building, tool use and a campfire (all activities weather permitting). The camp is run by our trained and experienced learning team, children can be dropped off and collected at the end of the day.  The day will be packed full with wildlife themed games, activities and exploration all over the nature reserve, helping the children to connect with the amazing world around us. 

We'll spend the day in the great outdoors, but the centre does have a beautiful indoor classroom space in case of bad weather. Further information will be sent at time of booking, including a parental consent form that MUST be completed and returned prior to attending the day. We will also send an optional one page care plan - please complete this if you feel it would help your child to settle and enjoy the day.

We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT allow your child to attend if they are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.

What to bring

WHAT TO BRING:
Dress for the weather in clothes and wellies that you don't mind getting a bit grubby. Please check the weather forecast and bring waterproofs and warm layers. We will be outside for most of the session. The site often floods in winter - please bring wellies, and a change of socks and trousers. 

Please bring a bottle of water and your own packed lunch and morning break time snack e.g. fruit.  Additional drinks and an afternoon snack provided. Do not bring any nuts please.

This club is for children only - adults are on site to drop off, register and then pick up at given timings.

Each attendee must complete and return the parental consent form sent out with the ticket information as soon as possible after booking and at least 1 week prior to the event (unless booked after that time). If you think this would benefit your child please also complete and return a care plan for your child. Forms will be sent after booking.
