Simone and Katrina are the co-founders of Bush Magic Adventures.
We launched Bush Magic Adventures in 2022 as a drop off nature play program for the growing local home-schooling families. With our delivery of unstructured time in nature, and forest schooling programs, our offerings quickly grew.
We now have multiple sites and 10 different programs running each week, with a highly skilled team of over 20 wonderful facilitators.
We are both local to Wollongong and our plan is to continue to deliver exceptional Nature Education experiences throughout the Illawarra.
