Karkarook Park holiday program for kids aged 7-12 years old
What’s included
2.5 hour morning session
Drop your kids off at 10am-12.30pm for crazy fun and adventures with our qualified educators. Your kids will make new friends and won’t notice that they are also become mini-ecosystem experts.
Stay for lunch and the afternoon
If your child is staying for the whole day, after the morning session they can eat their packed lunch on our picnic rugs, with time for some quieter craft activities and rest before the afternoon session.
2.5 hour afternoon session
Our afternoon session starts at 1.30pm and ends at 4pm. The afternoons are spent contributing to citizen science projects, identifying and counting native species that have returned to regenerated areas. But it is not all serious; we finish the day with games on the grass, including frisbie, basic acro and ball games.
