This special autumn camp focuses on the joys of the season, particularly through chestnut picking, which captures the essence of nature and outdoor fun. Children will have the chance to collect their own chestnuts, from spotting the spiny husks to harvesting the shiny nuts inside. This experience will surely become a cherished memory, bringing excitement long after the event.

The camp is designed to maximize learning through hands-on experiences. While chestnut picking may be the main event, there are plenty of other engaging activities to keep all participants entertained. Children who might be hesitant about picking chestnuts can easily find joy in horseback riding, gem hunting, and tractor rides, making this camp perfect for a day of exploration with friends.

Hands-On Experiences Abound

With the horseback riding experience at “Rocky,” children will learn to engage with horses, fostering empathy and curiosity about these magnificent animals. This more personal connection could pique interest, allowing participants to further inquire about horses and nature. By providing such diverse activities, the camp aims to get children interested in food, wildlife, and the environment, creating educational opportunities in a natural setting.
