WESBURN’s environmental centre is holding holiday nature camps for children aged six to 12.
Instructor Karen Wyeth has been working in gardens with children for the past four years, teaching at school gardens in California and New South Wales.
She will be creating meaningful outdoor experiences for kids by allowing them to learn by doing, including vegetable gardening, composting, story telling, song, cooking, crafting with herbs and other natural materials, and keeping discovery journals.
The sessions are run daily from 9am to 3pm and each weekly session emphasis a different theme – this week is all about fairies and gnomes with fairy stories, sketching and painting, costume making, and a fairy party with cakes and herbal tea.
Next week, from 16 to 20 January will be all about bugs, learning about the ‘good guys’, pollinators and decomposers, and the ‘bad guys’, pest bugs that eat the vegetables.
The final week from 23 to 25 and 30 to 31 January will focus on herbal crafts and cooking, making potpourri, herbal wreaths and sleep pillows.
