BUSH PLAY COLLECTIVE - NEW VENUE - INNES PARK RESERVE

We are excited to announce the launch of Bush Play Collective, an immersive nature program designed for children aged 4-13 years!

Benefits of Children Attending With Peers

At Bush Play Collective, children thrive when they explore independently. Here are some key benefits:

  • Independence: Kids learn to make decisions and solve problems on their own.

  • Social Skills: Interaction with peers enhances communication and teamwork.

  • Creativity: Unstructured play boosts imagination and self-expression.

  • Nature Connection: Children develop a sense of responsibility and appreciation for the environment.

  • Emotional Resilience: Facing challenges fosters coping skills and confidence.

  • Focused Engagement: Without parents, kids can fully immerse in play and exploration.

We encourage parents to embrace these benefits, knowing their children are safe and supported in their growth.
