Outdoor Kids Mini Adventures - Easy, weekday fun
We've created a series of family mini-adventures which are easy to plan and fun for both kids AND adults. Take a look, grab your wellies and get outdoors!

Break the routine
Daily life can be pretty chaotic. There's work, school, chores, and a million other things that can make the week fly by without a chance for outdoor adventuring. And that's not to mention that the evenings can be short and dark, the weather cold, and the sofa and a glass of wine often more tempting than venturing outdoors.
Mini-Adventuring
BUT, getting outdoors feels good!
So with that in mind, our mini adventures are designed to make life a little easier and more entertaining. There are ideas for all weathers and on any day of the week so shut your laptop, grab the kids and head out for some fun.
What is a mini adventure?
Mini adventures tend to be short, local, and easy to organise to fit in with a busy day. It can be a short walk with hot chocolate, watching the sunrise before work/school, cooking dinner outdoors, going on an owl hunt...
When you get home your cheeks may be rosy and your clothes may be soaked but having that family time together, outdoors is like a much needed breath of fresh air.
