SYLVANIA is our family and children’s creative area. There are a wide variety of fun, dance and educational sessions for all ages, and it’s also the home of our fabulous Forest School!
Pirate Fun and Storytelling
Join in the pirate fun with Master Matches Bowie Malone and Captain Emily Morgan. Can you walk the plank? Bringing the biggest bubbles, water pistols, Slip n’ Slide, as well as ukulele playing, treasure hunts and games several times a day, Pirate Fun is where the fun is really at!
Dance
Dance is a great fun way to express creativity and be active at the same time – we have various dance groups which run workshops and dance exhibitions through the day, stop by!
Creativity
There are art workshops for all ages inspired by nature such as land art, banner making and bug drawing. Whether playing with clay, painting, drawing, making or writing stories, we all have a creative inside of us to let explore!
For younger saplings, we have had a variety of activities over the years such as creating creatures in a puppet making workshop or tapping along in a drum circle and creating stunning visual arts.
Forest School
Sylvania is also the home of our Forest School and Nature Based Learning workshops. These sessiosn are mainly aimed at younger children 3-10 years of age. A typical session might include things like den building, imaginative play, natural arts and crafts, firemaking, using tools and much much more.
We go by the principle that education is more about asking the right questions than giving the right answers and we believe there is so much to be learned simply through being immersed in nature and having freedom and autonomy to explore it.
