Nature Sessions
Weekly outdoor nature-based experiences for children aged 2 to 5 years (with caregiver), designed to help children connect with nature, feel calm and grounded, and create lasting childhood memories.
Each 2-hour session includes one hour of guided, hands-on activities followed by one hour of open-ended, child-led play in the mud kitchen and outdoor exploration areas. Children take part in enriching experiences such as nature walks, scavenger hunts, storytelling and songs, nature-based crafts, basic survival skills, planting, composting, animal care, outdoor cooking, fire-making, and sensory nature play, the program is thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a deeper connection with the natural world.
Children also enjoy access to a variety of engaging spaces, including the mud kitchen, digging area, pond, animal shelter, outdoor library, and art corner.
Parents or caregivers are required to attend, offering a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded families. For children aged 4 and older who are more independent, forest sessions are recommended where drop-off may be possible. For younger children who prefer free exploration, the mud kitchen sessions are ideal.

Important Notes:
The play area includes elements of adventurous (risky) play, such as loose stones and pebbles, so active parental supervision is required at all times.
By enrolling your child, you acknowledge the nature of outdoor play and agree not to hold the Natura Tribe team or Nature Escapes liable for any incidents or accidents that may occur.
Children must always remain under the supervision of their parents or caregiver.
