NATURE SCHOOL
(Upcoming classes at the bottom of the page)
With the evolution of Wild Movement Perth, the time has come to change the way we offer the ‘Nature School’ experience.
Although it will no longer run in school terms as it has done over the years, we are excited to offer incursions, pop up classes and private bookings in various locations around Perth, WA.
Whether you would like to create an experience for your homeschool co-op, have us visit your school or workplace or would like to arrange a private booking, we are looking forward to share the Nature School experience with you.
To be notified about the pop up Nature School classes send us a message on 0431535992 to join the WhatsApp group.
ABOUT NATURE SCHOOL
Children today are growing up in a world very different from what our biology expects to experience.
Surrounded by technology, screens and artificial light, our kids are deficient in time outdoors connecting with nature.
Most could benefit from more time exploring creeks, catching grasshoppers, climbing trees, building shelters, making bow and arrows.
Nature school helps kids to feel comfortable in the outdoors during all seasons, from the heat of the summer to the cold of the winter.
Together we will explore natural environments, practice and learn earth based skills, as well as how to identify different plants and deepen our connection to the outside world.
