Plants, Animals, Vegetables and Adventure!
Get into The Great Outdoors this August at The Community Farm’s summer school! Designed for 9, 10 and 11 -year-olds, the five-day programme will see kids ‘reconnect’ with horticulture,
woodwork, wildlife conservation, agriculture, art, bushcraft, animal husbandry, exploring the island and even cooking. It will all be educational, social, fun and they will bring home their
creations too!
There is a choice of five programmes:
Week 1: August 1-5 Week 2: August 8-12 Week 3: August 15-19
Week 4: August 22-26 Week 5: Aug 29 – Sept 2
The Great Outdoors will run Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm. Children will learn, socialise and have fun with our specialist The Children’s Centre farm team.
We have limited availability of just eight places per week, so book early!
