Go Wild

Go Wild! is an outdoor kids club run for children aged 0-10. Our aim is to use the great outdoors to introduce and explore an even greater God. There are separate, age appropriate activities for the under 4s and over 4s. We ask that children are accompanied by an adult, as we meet in an open space, with all the normal hazards associated with being outdoors. Adults are very welcome to join in the fun, or chat and socialise with other parents and guardians while watching their kids. More /go-wild
