Follow us on our Mad Mapper’s way. Avoid the White Rabbit and stay in line to ensure you don’t get lost like Alice!
Join us for nature exploration with our orienteering program these school holidays. Children will learn to read maps and create their own through exciting hands-on activities that will teach them how to find their way in nature.
They will be able to put their newfound skills to the test on our hunt for nature's treasures. Get ready for a day filled with fun, exploration, and discovery!
