What people say

My son, aged 11, loved Nature Buddies. He had the opportunity to play at Manly Dam with a great group of children and learn about and enjoy being in nature. I would highly recommend it. Vicki is such a kind, enthusiastic and engaging Nature Buddies leader. Louise
On our way home after his first class, he said 'can I go back next week?'. He loved the class so much he didn't stop talking about all that he learnt all week. Viv
The holiday camp was my daughters favourite holiday activity by far! Vicki is such a loving and motivating teacher and Manly Dam is the perfect playground. Expect to get a happy and bursting-at-the-seams-with-new-ideas kid, that has the right layer of dirt to show that it was a real nature buddy. Highly recommend! Ariane
