Are your children home-educated? Are you looking for a quality outdoor experience to enhance their learning? Then join us on one of our sessions exclusively for home-educated children and their families. Suitable for children aged 7 – 13 years old. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

About the session:

Spurn is a place like no other! Providing homes for countless creatures, big and small.

Take part in a brilliant bug hunt. Use binoculars and see what breathtaking birdlife you can spot. Finishing with a trip to the beach for a hunt for prehistoric treasures.

Learn about astounding adaptations, fantastic food chains and extrodinary ecosystems.

Part of this event takes place on Spurn's beach, which has uneven terrain. This session does involve a lot of walking and use of an area close to a cliff.
