WELCOME TO GROW WILD

“Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives.” – Thomas Berry

Grow Wild understands that connection with nature is essential for healthy development. We creatively design unique multisensory experiences within ecosystems that reconnect us to ourselves, nature and others.   

 

Our adventures are certainly more than “just a walk”.  It is a special time to move, cocreate and connect, held within a safe space with others, surrounded by beautiful forests, mountains and ocean environments. Every path, group, exploration, discovery, learning and sharing are different each time.

 

Grow Wild aspires to support, educate, empower and inspire children and adults to thrive in a more natural way that is vital for our future and way forward on this planet.

THE BENEFITS OF GROW WILD WALKS

  • Being outdoors in a safe, natural environment.
  • Socialising with others whilst moving, playing and cocreating.
  • Learning naturally through inquiring, discovering and sharing knowledge and skills for a sustainable and good quality lifestyle.
  • Cultivating an innate love, appreciation and respect for nature and all of its’ gifts.

The mothers and fathers of our Grow Wild Community entrust their children into our care as they know the positive impact that our walks in nature have on their children’s lives.  They bond with each other and create magical lifelong memories. Emergent learning occurs incidentally through the skills of our qualified teachers and guides who know how to lead and know when to allow nature to weave her wonders.

FEEDBACK FROM THE GROW WILD COMMUNITY

Grow Wild's Wild Walks are just the best thing ever. Kids out in nature for a couple of hours on the weekend, parents have some time to get stuff done .... what could be better? My daughter has loved every walk she's been on, and she knows more about the wildlife and wild walks of Cape Town than her parents now!

My 8 year old daughter will rarely be persuaded to go on even short hikes with me, but she merrily trots off for hours with Grow Wild because "they make it fun".

My son loves the Grow Wild Walks and under Caryn's tutelage and trusted care, its like a classroom in the forest. Each soul-nurturing excursion is different from plants to bugs, rivers to rocks - kids learn so much amidst the greatest teacher of all, Mother Nature.

My favourite part was the beach because I got to climb on the rocks and swim. Also I played in the sand and saw awesome things.

Wow!! Trees, trees, trees. Each so unique. Ancient Wow!! Trees, trees, trees. Each so unique. Ancient, strong and resilient. During our Grow Wild adventures we experience 'sit spots' finding a good place and sitting quietly for between 5 and 10 minutes becoming aware of the beauty through using all of your senses whilst in silence.

Walking through the forests and being immersed in the river, brings a sense of calm and a strong grounding. They leave with a relaxed nervous and a new perspective to carry with them.

Dead, unwanted pieces of broken branches, too weak to weather the strong storms.
New pathways revealed, creating uncertainty, excitement and trust.
And look at these exposed roots in this photograph. Hundreds, washed clean by rain, offering leverage to reach the next level of our journey today... Discovering a magnificent, majestic waterfall.
Nature truly is our greatest teacher.

Grow Wild explores nature within this caring conta Grow Wild explores nature within this caring container of agreements. During our opening circle each adventurer understands the value of the S. K. Y guidelines:

S: STAY SAFE. Stay with the group. Stay distanced from dogs and just beam them love. Step carefully. Adhere to our COVID CARE requirements.

K: KINDNESS. Kind words and acts to ourselves, others and most certainly nature. We don't pick or destroy anything that is still alive. Stepping lightly and with care.

Y: YOU are important! You know what you NEED (rest, water, food etc.) and you know what you can DO (climb, jump, run, swing etc well)
