ZEN NATURE CAMP

A full day of adventure, movement and mindful exploration outdoors

What is Zen Nature Camp

Zen Nature Camp is a full-day outdoor holiday experience where children explore, move and slow down in nature.

The day takes place along the Cape Banks Walking Track at Kamay Botany Bay National Park. As we walk the trail, we pause for movement, breathwork, mindful games and quiet reflection moments.

This camp supports confidence, resilience and a growing connection to the natural world.
