Connecting urban children and families with nature

TGC is a charity and non-profit organisation.

We provide urban children and adults with transformative outdoor experiences devised to encourage active lifestyles, promote self-discovery, inspire growth and stimulate respect for nature.

ACORN CLUB IS BACK!

What are your plans for half term? If you are looking for fun, engaging activities and quality childcare this half term, then look no further... The Acorn Club is back!

We’re delighted to let you know that we are busy planning 4 days of Acorn Club at Gillespie Park Ecology Centre next to Arsenal tube this coming half term.

1st-4th June 2021

09.30-3pm each day.

For all children aged 6-11
The Acorn Club is run by The Garden Classroom’s team of passionate Facilitators & Forest School Leaders.
Each day is different and full of engaging outdoor activities.
Activities include bug hunting, pond dipping, baking, forest school crafts (including using hand tools), games, den building and more.
Ideal for children who like to get out and about in nature and like to be creative.

Just bring along a packed lunch each day, dress to be outside and be prepared to get a bit muddy and have lots of fun!
