Outdoor Activity Sessions Return!!

Are you concerned about being in busy public spaces? Do you miss the outdoors? Would you like to enjoy nature, music, arts activities and play but still have dignified toilet facilities to hand?

We have limited opportunities for members to join us for our upcoming Outdoor Sessions.  We will have Accessoloo (mobile changing places) on-site and you will have the option of the following activities: music workshop, arts/craft and loose play options. Please note these sessions are outdoors and are therefore subject to weather conditions. 

Dates:

Saturday 12 June 12-1.30pm FULLY BOOKED
Saturday 12 June 2.30-4pm (Teenagers age 13-19)

Parent/carer must remain onsite at all times and will be responsible for their son/daughter. Staff and volunteers will be onsite to assist with activities and participation however they will not be providing medical or personal care support at this time.

Please remember, not all families, volunteers or staff have received the vaccine and therefore we recommend that you continue to social distance at these events.

Location:
Sessions will take place at Carnfunnock Country Park in Larne. This venue has a fantastic covered area which will protect us from the typical Northern Ireland weather. We will detail where to find us in your confirmation email.

Please click on the link below to complete an 'Expression of Interest' form. We have limited spaces available and will offer these on a first come first served basis. We have many more sessions planned in the upcoming months, so if you do not get a space this time, we will prioritise those who missed out next month.
