A whole new kind of adventure . . .

What we do

  • Urban Adventurers is an outdoor after-school and holiday club for kids who thrive on being outside exploring, but live in the city.

  • Our programs are led by nature-play educators.

  • Each season, kids explore a different part of their neighbourhood, getting to know its ecosystems and learning how to act as its guardians through play.

  • Activities range from beachcombing to nature-inspired crafternoons; with lessons on environmental care to help kids build mindful connections to nature and place.

  • Through activities and guided reflections, kids will build persistence, resilience and awareness of their community and the natural world. 

Nature-based games.

Life-long relationships.

Disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature . . . locally

While it would be great if our kids could explore the bush on a daily basis, for those who live in the city that’s not possible. But we believe that a healthy future depends on our connection with, and the restoration of, local urban ecosystems.
