SMALL STEPS, BIG ADVENTURES
A quick intro
Welcome to Outdoor Explorers Club, a series of short, family-friendly nature sessions designed to spark curiosity, confidence and connection in the great outdoors.
These are not long hikes — they are gentle, exploration-based walks created especially for families with young children. Each session focuses on discovering the natural world through hands-on, forest school-inspired activities, encouraging children to slow down, look closely and engage all their senses.
From bug hunting beneath logs to bark rubbing against ancient trees, from spotting coastal wildlife to identifying seasonal plants, every session offers meaningful outdoor experiences in beautiful local settings.
Why Join Family Outdoor Explorers Club
Because sometimes the biggest adventures begin with the smallest steps.
Family Outdoor Explorers Club is about slowing down, noticing the small details, and giving children the space to explore nature in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment. It’s about building confidence, encouraging curiosity, and creating shared family memories outdoors.
Come and join us — and discover just how big a short adventure can be.
