Grow Wild Walks – Learning Naturally

Grow Wild Walks are offered every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 1pm. Children aged five years and older are invited to come on a fun and safe adventure on the mountains, on the beach or in the forests of Constantia, Hout Bay and the Atlantic Sea Board. 

BOOK NOW

Bookings are to be made by Thursday to avoid disappointment and for preparation.

DETAILS

What to expect:

Each walk is unique as it is designed with a clear intention and central point, for example: the Element water and flow.


Our Grow Wild walks consist of various forms of movement including climbing, balancing, walking, running and yoga. We connect with each other by playing cooperative games and cocreate art pieces, shelters and tools. The wildings practise quiet moments of silent walking and meditation. And learning many more discoveries that nature reveals to us.


The children walk without their parents as we encourage independence. It builds their confidence and helps them to meet their adventurous and nature loving side.


The walks are gentle to medium effort with our focus on the journey rather than the destination.
