Activities

We have designed a wide range of fun and engaging activities that will be outdoor-based in St Ouen's Bay National Park. Many of the activities below will be included in each camp, but may vary, dependent on availability, weather, tides, and the children’s preferences.

Wildlife wanders & Rock pool rambles

• Get up-close to some of Jersey’s rare flagship species such as green lizards slow worms and toads so children can see them and be educated properly;

• Learn from experts about the many different habitats found in the bay, and the amazing animals that live here;

• Rummage in rock-pools and collect insects from the dunes to identify and learn about.

You’ll be amazed on the ecological knowledge and facts the children will pick up during the week!

Creativity and crafts

• Work with local artists to create astonishing artwork using nature as inspiration and natural materials;

• Build a nature inspired craft to take home;

• Explore the sounds of nature and make music inspired by it.

exploration and investigation

• Use your full range of senses to explore the world around you and go on exciting scavenger hunts;

• Discover how plants and animals have cleverly adapted to live in their habitats;

• Learn about their tricks of stealth, camouflage and disguise and put these into practice!

Team work and self-development

• Navigate challenges that require team work to succeed;

• Talking circles that encourage the children’s social and emotional development.

survival camp and craft

• Learn how to build shelters and dens in the woods

• Master survival techniques and forage for wild growing plants that are edible and good for you (no bug eating necessary!)

boogie boarding and sea play (summer camps only)

• Weather and tides permitting, we always try to include some sea time, to give the kids knowledge about ocean safety and have some fun in the waves.

• A meditation and mindfulness session outside to slow down and become present

Giving Back
