Experience Sessions

Session Overview

Creativity is all around us. Let’s start somewhere. This series will bring out the natural curiosity and creativity in your Shedder! Join us for this series as we build, craft, paint, dig, and get messy! Our conversations will start with our Shedders getting to know themselves and their community. As we get to reflect more on ourselves, we will discover the gifts that each individual brings to our community and how to collaborate and problem solve together. Through the process of inquiry, Shedders will build experiences that will inspire them to become an every day creator.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” - May Angelou

Being Prepared

Arriving early and prepared, allows your child the best opportunity to make the most of their session with us. Please share the packing responsibilities with children and let them take ownership of their possessions and at the same time be a helpful reminder to you!

Sometimes running late is unavoidable and we will always be waiting at, or nearby our meeting point before moving on. However, if you know you are going to be late, please inform the lead mentor ASAP. If it looks like you are going to be more than 30mins than the start time, alternative arrangements may need to be made and this will be considered on a case by case scenario.

Each child should come prepared and have their own backpack with the following:

Small, healthy snack
Full water bottle
Well-fitted hat
Sunscreen
Spare mask
Well fitted closed-toe shoes
Rain jacket/coat

For any wet sessions, please be prepared with:

Come changed with bathing suit under clothes
A spare t-shirt
Small Towel
Upon picking up a change of clothes is always a good idea for the ride home!

We appreciate that there is a lot of information above and we will use the WhatsApp chat to remind you of all these details on a day by day basis.

The Mentors

In the lead up to your child’s week with us, please take the time to have an upbeat chat with them about what is ahead. This will allow them some time to prepare for meeting the new mentors, the other children, and the new routines they are about to be involved in. Undoubtedly, there will be some nerves but they will be greeted with friendly faces and some running around should help to quickly get them relaxed and into the right frame of mind.
