A limited number of spaces are left on free outdoor summer camps for youngsters.The Galloway Glens Scheme is holding another round of Go Wild Outdoor Camps, giving primary seven pupils the chance to get out into the countryside, make great friends and learn new skills.Although the Glenkens camp is full, there are some spaces available on sessions in Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas.Galloway Glens education and community engagement officer Jan Hogarth – who will be overseeing the camps – said: “Are you in primary seven and do you fancy an adventure in the forests of Galloway Glens this summer?“Go Wild shows children that they live in an amazing place, reinforcing the sense of place and connectivity with nature and wellbeing.
The camps teach children that the outdoors is accessible to them, often free and lots of fun is done responsibly. This year our camps are working closely with the John Muir Trust so children participating for the five days will get their John Muir Discovery Award, a nationally recognised nature stewardship award.“Children get to explore nature and conservation and learn important bush skills including; putting up tarps, whittling sticks for tent pegs, knotting, making bows and arrows, talking sticks, food foraging, architectural den building.
Through these fun activities children learn important life skills such as, collaboration, problem solving, active outdoor games and how to use nature for wellbeing.“Go Wild is brilliant for increasing children’s confidence, through connecting with the outdoors and solving practical challenges with friends.”The Kirkcudbright camp will take place in Barhill Woods from July 18 to 22.
