The kids in our nature group program OT Gone Wild had a blast in the recent school holidays. Our child-led approach allowed all kinds of nature activities to unfold - digging up "the supreme king of rocks", hide and go seek in the ferns and rock scrambling, just to name a few - all driven by the kids' intrinsic motivation to learn, explore and play.
The kids also got many opportunities to practice organization of their belongings and their needs in the outdoors, to resolve disagreements within the play, to take on helping roles and to look out for their group members when someone was having a tough time. The beautiful thing to watch was how much the independence increased with these things over the 3 days!
We loved running OT Gone Wild again and can't wait for the next one in April. Send me an email if you're interested - claire@climbonot.com
