Things at Bush Magic that just make sense.
Learning to use tools by actually using tools. Because the best way to learn a skill is to have a go, with the right support around you.
Letting kids take the lead in choosing what they want to do. When kids have ownership over their day, they’re more engaged in what they’re learning.
Climbing trees because childhood should involve climbing trees. It’s a simple way to build confidence, coordination, problem-solving and a sense of adventure.
Making a real fire. Learning how to safely build, manage and cook over a fire is a skill they’ll remember.
Spending time in nature. There’s something about being outside that gives kids space to slow down, notice what’s around them and just be.
Cooking on the fire. Because food somehow tastes better when it’s been cooked on the fire.
Getting outside in all weather. Rain, cold, sunshine, every kind of weather gives us something different to explore.
Kids getting dirty. Because dirt washes off, but the experiences, skills and memories stick around.
And yes… we really do spend our days doing this. This is what Bush Magic looks like, plenty of time outside, plenty of choice and plenty of opportunities for kids to learn by doing.
