The best gift you can give to your child/children is to allow them to free play in natural settings this Winter School Holidays with CK!
The Conscious Kids Social Enterprise invites your tamariki to a 100% play-in-nature school holiday programme.
Nature play has proven physical, emotional, and social health benefits. Our supervised programme allows kids to lead their own activities – mudslides, tree climbing, puddle splashing, hammock and hut building etc. We aim to provide an antidote to the fast-paced technology-filled world many children now inhabit, within our framework of fun, respect for themselves, others, and the environment. Such child-led play enhances creativity, problem-solving, communication (including listening!), collaboration and many other 21st century skills.
Our Winter Holidays will run from the 12th to the 16th of July, at a cost of $70/child per day or $200/ per child for 3 days.
Daily programmes run from 9 am to 3 pm and are designed for children aged 5 – 12 yrs. old. For bookings and more information, please visit http://www.
Let them play in the rain, let them splash in the mud, let them laugh in the sand, and giggle in the woods.
