Lost in the Garden at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney

Calling all budding adventurers!

This winter school holidays, we're inviting kids to embark on a thrilling adventure that will challenge their minds, ignite their creativity, and deepen their connection with nature.

Imagine if your child were lost in the Garden – would they know what to do? Our program is designed to equip them with essential survival skills that could prove invaluable in such a situation. Under the guidance of our experienced Educators, they'll learn how to use a compass with confidence and navigate their way back to safety.

But it's not all about survival – there's plenty of adventure and excitement to be had too! Your child will have the opportunity to test their design skills by building a miniature raft and seeing if it can float in water. They'll also get hands-on experience crafting their own sun dial and using it to tell time and direction with the guidance of our knowledgeable staff.

Throughout the program, your child will engage in a variety of fun and educational activities that will expand their knowledge of the natural world and foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the Garden. From thrilling treasure hunts using maps to nature craft activities that inspire creativity, there's something for every budding adventurer to enjoy.
