Our Philosophy

At WildPlay Co, we’re all about giving kids the chance to grow, explore, and thrive in nature. We believe adventurous outdoor play isn’t just fun—it’s how kids build real-life skills, resilience, and problem-solving abilities. Sure, there’s a bit of risk involved, but that’s part of the magic! Taking risks, testing limits, and learning through play are essential parts of childhood. Plus, if we want the next generation to care for our planet, they first need to form a deep and meaningful connection with nature.

That’s why we do what we do—because nature is the best playground and the best teacher!

What do we do?

WildPlay Co create nature play experiences where kids can run wild, explore, and learn in nature. Our programs are all about real, hands-on play—building outdoor skills, sparking creativity, and encouraging curiosity. We believe that when kids have the freedom to lead their own adventures, they build confidence, resilience, and a deep appreciation for nature. That’s why our sessions are child-led and focused on free play, giving kids the space to follow their interests, take risks, and discover what they’re truly capable of—all while having amazing outdoor adventures!
