Watching children’s confidence grow and new friendships form at our clubs is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

With a non-competitive environment, children feel more relaxed and can challenge themselves to try new things in a fun environment, unlike sports specific clubs, as every person has something they excel at in nature.

Some of our most popular activities take pop culture icons, such as Harry Potter, Pokemon or Star Wars and build an imaginative day of activities around these stories and characters. Our tech meets nature sessions, such as Minecraft or Among Us, bring to life elements of the games that many children love. The meeting of these two worlds often encourages somewhat shy or reluctant children to come for the very first time, only to find that they return again and again to enjoy Bushcraft, Campfire Cooking, nature games and so much more.

Please sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear as clubs go on sale.

We look forward to seeing you in a playground or field soon!

SCHOOL & EVENTS ENQUIRY

Having many years experience in The Outdoors industry working on camps in the USA, Forest School leading, Scouting and being an outdoors adventure sports enthusiast, I really feel the benefits for children spending regular time in the Outdoors are huge.

We’re very lucky to have access to such amazing natural spaces on our doorstep in Lewes district and the Outdoors Project aims to help bring people together in these environments. To grow friendships, build self-confidence and experience where some of the best memories are made, ideally round a campfire with some marshmallows!

I really want to encourage young people to explore and discover through the outdoors, helping them to realise their potential and see the world in a positive and exciting light. Playing games, exploring different outdoors skills and having fun is the ideal recipe send everyone home smiling, including myself and the team!

Flexible childcare for our flexible lives

Flexible childcare for our flexible lives

During the school holidays, the idea of working from home with the kids, versus the reality of working from home, are two different things. Endless snack requests, restless children who need to burn off steam outdoors, and the added parental guilt of kids watching TV all day or gaming with friends doesn’t make for the ideal solution for anyone
