Given that kids have almost constant access to gadgets and screens these days, it is more important than ever to encourage them to get out and about in the great outdoors.
Engaging in physical activity helps kids to grow and develop in ways that will stand to them as they get older. And playing outside is also a great way for them to make new friends.
A great way to do this is through summer camps and afterschool courses like Coillte’s Compass Club.
Compass Club seeks to “swap screentime for playtime”. It gives kids a secure and supervised adventure experience in great Irish forests, developing themselves and learning outdoor life skills in a fun way with other children.
They do this through:
- After-school adventure courses
- Summer and Easter camps
- School tours
- Custom events for schools and other groups
Compass Club is all about giving kids awesome experiences in nature. As they see it, the great outdoors is the world’s best playground and through their fun, feel good activities, kids will make a host of new friends while rediscovering how exciting nature can be.
From building shelters and toasting perfect marshmallows, to navigating trails and finding treasure, at Compass Club they’ll develop new skills and self-confidence, and may even end up teaching you a thing or two about the world around you.
