A donkey experience

Tessa pre-teen well being course

Pre-teen wellbeing course for ages 7-11

Participants will participate in a fun, practical and gentle approach through shared-experiences with our family of donkeys in a safe and nurturing environment. The course will promote confidence, self-esteem and develop positive well-being whilst encouraging team-working building relationships with each other and the animals. Also, the programme will encourage the participants to connect with each other, build upon their social and emotional skills whilst making friends along the way.

Activities will include caring for and looking after the donkeys, brushing and spending time with them and taking part in activities in the great outdoors with the donkeys as the central learning tool. Also, the participants will take part in a food hunt around the farm determining what’s good for the donkeys to eat and collectively bring the selection of plants together to make a colourful collage which they can take home and cherish.

The programme will conclude with a celebration activity by gathering around the camp fire, toasting marshmallows.

*Please bring with you a snack and a drink, wellie boots, rain coat and wrap up warm in case the weather is changeable.

*Priority will be given to participants who have not engaged in this programme previously.
