About Hopetoun Explorers

Listed Under Family and Kids Events / Nature Events / Outdoor Events / Workshops Events

This is an exciting outdoor based club for 7-12 year olds with a keen interest in nature and the outdoors, whatever the weather.

Each session has a different theme ranging from den building and bushcraft, exploring and looking after the local wildlife, to treasure hunting. It entails a good variety of hands-on activities and crafts, mixed with healthy fresh air.

The Hopetoun Explorers meet one Sunday a month from 10am to 12noon at Hopetoun House. The majority of sessions are led outside in the grounds with sessions occasionally taking place inside and are led by the experienced Hopetoun Education and Ranger team.
