Provide inspiring activities to develop the children’s curiosity and help them to discover nature. You will explore and learn about this part of the Essex Coast and Estuary while rock pooling and beachcombing and we'll provide facts about the superpowers and magic of the coastal wildlife we find. Learn about the ecosystems and environment. We take part in a 2 minute litter pick and learn about how to be more sustainable and get inspired to protect the Essex coastline. We also focus on water safety learning how to float to live.
A fee of £3 per child with adults not charged for attending. Everyone attending should sign up (adults and children).
