A lovely article sent in to us by one of our very happy mums! Based on her son's positive experiences with The Outdoors Project, from the exciting and memorable birthday party for him and his friends to our fun filled and educational holiday clubs. Thank you Maria Belfort for the kind words! If you would like to book your child in for a birthday party please click HERE. 

Our mission is to encourage children to spend quality time outdoors and gain all the benefits from doing so! Fresh air, exercise, developing friendships, learning about nature, engaging in “wild time”, exploring creativity & imagination, learning new skills and above all having fun!!  The below life & learning skills are incorporated into our sessions this term

Physical Activity *  Teamwork, Co-operation and Leadership Skills * Positive tech engagement with nature * Outdoors Learning & awareness of environment * Literacy & Science

The children have been really enthusiastic about the activities we've done so far this term and we have all been very impressed by the creative twists and ideas they come up with.

This term the children have excelled in the sessions. Some popular ones have been Nature Detectives, a slightly more challenging take on a nature scavenger hunt and the Egg Drop Challenge, where the children are challenged to make a protective barrier around an egg with a set amount of materials to see if it can survive being dropped from height.

Some of the high energy games sessions such as Fortnite Nerf and Ringo are filled with a lot of excitement and can be a test to the children’s sportsmanship skills and teamworking abilities in a more competitive environment. This gives instructors an opportunity to work on and role model good game play attitude as the sessions progress throughout term. The groups work well as a team and its great to see relationships across the age ranges flourish.

The start of the year can be cold so we aim to keep the kids moving, the more craft based activities are scheduled for after February Half Term (except the Slime making which we know a lot of the children are excited about and we won’t make them wait that long!!).

I would highly recommend The Outdoor Project for anyone who likes being outdoors. I would also recommend it for people who don’t like being outdoors. It may change your mind!

A new study has shown a direct link that nature reduces obesity and depression. Something so simple as heading outdoors can really help.

A fantastic review from Bishopston Mum highlighting success for our Bristol Saplings Project!
