I was a part of “Nature Base”, it was fantastic. We learned a lot about plants and nature, such as the common polypody which is a fern that grows on trees. I loved it so much I kept going for 3 years.

I think nature base is a great camp, you learn a lot about nature and get to play great games. I’d really recommend this camp, my favourite part was learning to use a flint and steel to light a fire. The leaders are really nice too.

Both of my sons have gone to the Nature Base summer camps over the past 2 years and thoroughly enjoyed the fun experience. The camp has encouraged my kids to really appreciate the outdoors regardless of the weather!

My daughter attended Nurture Base for a number of years and absolutely loved it. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to learn, play and experience nature in the beautiful surroundings of the Barna Woods and Rusheen Bay. I would thoroughly recommend Nature Base as an after school activity as it provides a very unique opportunity for children to explore their natural environment, to build dens, to climb trees, to learn about nature and to have fun being outdoors.

Our two boys have gone to the Nature Base camps for several years now and consistently rate it as their favourite camp. We have been to the camps both pre-Covid and during Covid and have felt very comfortable with all procedures in place. Duncan and his team are professional and are really great with all the kids. The activities are varied, engaging and fun. Mine are looking forward to booking again this summer!

Caring for the natural environment

During Nature Base, the children are helped to understand ways in which we can ensure that how we enjoy the woods or coastline doesn’t have a negative impact on those habitats.

More than that, we explore ways in which we can leave these beautiful places in even better condition after we have been there.
