THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD
“We regularly witness the joy, wonder and freedom of kids just being kids. We watch them marvel at some of the simplest things in life that are often so easily overlooked or just go un-noticed – the luminous colour coming of spring leaves, the call of bird or the smell of the rain.
Out here we witness how curiosity comes to life, the type of curiosity that asks: I wonder…? For us, that’s really the holy grail. If we can ignite a passion for nature and the outdoors, our job is done. How great is it for as adults to join in with seeing the world through a child’s eyes!”
We are in the process of setting up a Community Interest Company. We employ professional instructors and operate with a high adult to child ratio for the best quality experiences.
​
Our aim is to keep our pricing accessible, working hard to secure grants and funding to make our work as accessible as possible.
