About the event

A day camp for 8-12 year olds outside on the beautiful nature reserve. In a day packed with fun activities, you will learn about the butterfly life cycle and how it's body works. We will go on a butterfly hunt around the nature reserve and record what we see. Butterflies need our help so we will show you which types of plants are important, and you can plant some seeds of butterfly friendly plants to grow in your garden at home. 
Plants take a while to grow so you can make a butterfly feeder to use straight away. Butterfly craft and games will also be included during the day.

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. 

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.

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.
