A Fun-Filled, Jam-Packed January!

We’ve had a very busy January welcoming lots of new faces to our outdoor settings. We’ve enjoyed experiencing the different types of weather that January brought and had fun exploring the ice and temperatures. We even had icicles in our river…

We made boats for our puddles and found our favourite trees to climb.

And today we celebrated the tradition of making crosses out of rushes for St. Brigid’s Day. What a busy, fun-filled and adventurous month that was! Looking forward to seeing what fun Spring brings….

Bear Grylls Summer Camp

We had a lot of fun at our overnight Bear Grylls Summer Camp. It was a wonderful experience for staff and children alike…camping outdoors, making hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows on our outdoor fire, going fishing first thing and preparing, cooking and eating our catch of the day!

 

The fun that the children are having on our summer camps proves that, (once you dress appropriately), there is simply no such thing as bad weather!
