About the event

This is part of an annual programme of Wild in the Woods family sessions on Wednesdays during school holidays in Cambourne.

In this session, join Becca Badger for an adventure on Cambourne Nature Reserve. We'll walk to Redgrave Water (the lake is about half a mile from the car park) doing challenges along the way, then spend some time pond dipping before strolling back. You'll be amazed at what we find in the lake; it's as exciting for adults as it is for children!

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