Nature Camp
Over the past two weeks, our Riversiders have returned to Nature Camp at Beecraigs as part of a six-week block, giving them the chance to revisit the same woodland space and build confidence, familiarity and a sense of belonging.
So far, they have explored woodland trails, burns and bridges, crossed stepping stones, climbed steep banks, watched wildlife and discovered fungi, animal prints, unusual sticks and stones.
The woodland has also inspired lots of imaginative play, with fairy bridges, dinosaur lands, crocodile rivers and pretend campfires all becoming part of their shared stories.
We have seen some lovely teamwork too, with our Riversiders helping one another across tricky ground, waiting for the group and reminding each other how to stay safe.
By returning each week, they are beginning to recognise landmarks, remember routes and deepen their connection with the natural environment.
Nature Camp gives our Riversiders time to slow down, explore, wonder, take on challenges and enjoy being together outdoors. We are excited to see where the next four weeks take us.
