About the event

This is part of an annual programme of family activities throughout the year in Cambourne.

In this session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Cambourne Nature Reserve. We might get creative with sticks, build a shelter with tarps and branches, hang a hammock, climb and tree, make something with a saw...

This session is perfect for ages 7-11. Older children will also enjoy the activity. It is not suitable for mobile children under 5 for health and safety reasons. You are welcome to bring pre-walking babies in a buggy or sling.

Mobility

We aim to make our sessions as accessible as possible and are happy to make reasonable adjustments to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy them. Cambourne Nature Reserve has flat, accessible paths suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs although we will be straying into wilder areas on this session. Please contact us to discuss your accessibility needs.

What to bring

To avoid bites, stings and scratches, long sleeves and long trousers are suggested for all participants. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy and sturdy shoes. The sessions will go ahead even if it rains, so you may require waterproofs. It is unlikely but if it is especially windy or lightening is forecast, it may not be advisable to run the session. If this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund your money.

Parking information

The meeting point is a public car park. It is usually quiet, but spaces cannot be guaranteed. Alternative parking (and public toilets) can be found at Morrisons nearby.
