After a busy day in the classroom, children will find the perfect space to unwind and reconnect with nature. This program encourages kids to move their bodies, explore their imaginations, and play freely in the fresh air surrounded by beautiful natural settings.
Grounded in a child-led, nature-based philosophy, the program gently introduces bush-craft skills, local flora and fauna knowledge, and environmental awareness. It fosters a warm, inclusive community where every child is encouraged to be themselves.
Through cooperative play, storytelling, and hands-on activities, children build confidence, resilience, and strong social and emotional foundations—all while having a whole lot of fun in nature.
This after-school program is designed for children aged 5 to 13 years and is NDIS-accessible, welcoming all children. Individualized support is available to ensure every child feels safe, included, and empowered to thrive.
It is a drop-off activity, allowing parents, carers, and guardians a couple of hours to themselves while their children enjoy the garden. Parents may stay as long as needed to ensure their child is comfortable and happy.
Therapy bookings are also available, tailored to each child's needs. Booking is essential via Bookeo, and places are limited.
The program takes place at Wollongong Botanic Garden, located at 29 Madoline Street, Keiraville. Participants meet the Bush Magic team at the Garden's Education Centre (map reference: Q - 8).
The closest carpark is at 29 Madoline Street, Keiraville. Visitors can plan their visit with information on public transport, parking, and maps available on the garden’s website.
The garden is open daily from 7am to 5pm, with extended hours on weekdays and weekends.
Cancellations by Bush Magic Adventure Therapy will result in a credit for another session of equal value. If a session is delayed, paused, or canceled after starting due to weather or safety, no refund or credit will be given.
Absences due to illness or change of mind do not qualify for refunds. A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for credit on missed bookings, and 48 hours’ notice for NDIS bookings to avoid fees.
Credits can only be used within the same term for a similar program.
The cost is $42 per session or $360 per term (Term 4, 2025). Therapy sessions have separate pricing tailored to individual needs; contact Bush Magic for details.
Bookings are essential and can be made via Bookeo. Early booking is recommended as places are limited.
