EXCELLENT EGGS!

The Easter Bunny needs your help. Something has gone wrong in the woods and the magic of spring is fading. Children will follow a trail of clues, complete woodland missions, and take part in an exciting Easter hunt while learning about nature along the way. The adventure finishes around the campfire with a well-earned treat. This is not your average Easter egg hunt, but a hands-on outdoor experience full of exploration, teamwork, and discovery.
