We’re very excited to invite your children to step into the heart of Heligan and join our Rangers on an unforgettable adventure through the gardens.
These unique, enriching day experiences are set in the heart of the iconic Lost Gardens of Heligan. Designed to inspire and nurture, each day offers a thoughtfully crafted mix of play, learning, and connection with the natural world.
Led by our expert outdoor team, Heligan Rangers will take part in a wide range of activities that reflect the very best of Heligan:
Nature-Based Wellbeing: Guided mindfulness walks, wild art, and peaceful moments under the trees help children slow down, breathe deeply, and develop a life-long bond with nature.
Science & Conservation: From bug hunts to bird surveys, pond dipping to plant ID, Rangers become real contributors to the Heligan landscape, learning how to observe, record and protect the natural world around them.
Creative & Practical Skills: Expect den building, cooking, natural crafts and storytelling around the campfire — with every day designed to build resilience, teamwork, and confidence.
End the summer holidays on a high with a Heligan Rangers Summer Workshop.
