Nature Play & Bush Sessions – Cedar Party & Mid North Coast NSW
Where the bush breathes, the frogs funk, and every day is a new adventure in nature.
Nestled among grand eucalypts and she-oak trees beloved by black cockatoos, Funky Frog Bush School is a nature-lover’s haven and learning space for all ages.
Just 8 minutes from Wingham, 20 minutes from Taree, and 35 minutes from Old Bar NSW, we invite you to come as you are, ground in the real earth, and let nature do its thing — you might even feel a little funk in your soul.
Why Bush Play is Good for Body, Mind & Soul
– WHY NATURE MATTERS
In our fast-paced, screen-filled world, it’s easy to feel disconnected, stressed, or stuck on autopilot.
When we step into the bush — under the trees, beside the dam, barefoot on the grass — something shifts. We breathe deeper. We listen. We remember what it feels like to simply be.
Reduces Stress & Brings Calm
Boosts Focus, Energy & Learning
Builds Confidence & Connection
Inspires Creativity & Joy
Learning, Wellbeing & Connection in Nature
Our sessions combine outdoor learning, sensory exploration and play-based education to nurture curiosity, confidence and creativity.
Each visit invites participants to slow down, breathe deeply, and engage with the rhythms of the bush — climbing logs, splashing in water, building shelters, or simply listening to the birds.
