We offer full-day wildlife clubs in the Summer, October, February, and Easter Holidays. In these clubs, we tend to go a little further afield and explore new and exciting areas. The clubs are designed to challenge kids to discover and explore wildlife by immersing themselves in wild spaces with large and fun groups.
Costs for holiday clubs are £50 per child, per activity, for the first five activities booked. Any additional activities will be charged at a reduced rate of £45 per club.
Please note that some trips have additional travel costs:
- Trips involving train travel to Aberdour, North Berwick, and Fordell Glen will incur an additional £6 travel fee, which should be included with your payment.
- The Inchcolm Island trip will incur an additional £10 boat fare.
For trips to Colinton, the Pentlands, Dalkeith, Roslin, Aberlady Bay, and Bonaly, children should bring a valid bus pass or enough money for bus travel. If your child does not have a bus pass, please provide £2.40 to cover the return bus fare.
