Bushrangers: Campfire Club – Centennial Parklands

Led by our experienced team of Educators, children will enjoy a full day of wildlife, bushcraft, outdoor challenges, games and free play in the great outdoors of Centennial Park.

Activities are designed to allow children to play outside and take part in problem-solving and cooperative challenges.

Children will learn the art of fire craft – creating sparks to light a fire without matches, and making delicious damper and campfire treats!

Bushrangers: Campfire Club is a firm winter holiday favourite with limited places, so book early to avoid disappointment.

This program is suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years.

Please note: Fire will not be included in our session if NSW Rural Fire Service fire danger ratings are above ‘moderate.’ Sessions will instead focus on shelter building, outdoor challenges, and free play.

Please note: At Greater Sydney Parklands, our child-led nature play programs adapt to the needs of participants and weather conditions. This may result in variations from the described activities. Our priority is to ensure children have a meaningful connection to nature. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in supporting our approach.

Things to know before you attend

Greater Sydney Parklands educators take observations during programs to ensure the overall nature play experience for all children is optimal. These are general observations where children are not identifiable, and are not asked questions or for opinions that will be directly quoted in any way. The observations are used for internal staff training and broader purposes such as conference presentations and educational publications.

Please come prepared, as this program will go ahead in all-weather unless it is unsafe to do so (for example, during high winds or thunderstorms). Children must wear enclosed shoes.

Our drop-off school holiday programs have an adult to child ratio of 1:10. We are unable to offer 1:1 support for children. If you would like to discuss the needs of your child with us, please email [email protected] or assist us by completing the accessibility requirements and behavioural needs questions when registering.

This is a drop-off program for children aged 5 – 12 years. Parents do not attend with children.

We reserve the right to cancel the event in case of dangerous weather or if minimum participation numbers are not met. In these circumstances a refund will be offered. Please refer to our full terms and conditions for more information.
