Where wonder takes flight
Wings & Wonderlings
A Fairy’s Beginning
A nature-based summer camp for children ages 6–10.
For one magical week, children are invited into the Land of the Fairies, a world of wonder, creativity and imagination rooted in nature.
Together we'll forage natural materials to craft fairy wings, crowns, wands and fairy dwellings, mix whimsical potions, share tea parties beneath the trees and spend time connecting with the animals who call The Sacred Woods home, including goats, pigs, horses, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs, a rooster and a rabbit.
Through storytelling, creative play, animal connection, movement, nature exploration and hands-on making, children will be encouraged to follow their curiosity, build confidence and experience the joy of slowing down, connecting with the natural world and discovering the magic that lives within it. No prior fairy training required.

Children will spend time with the beloved animal residents of The Sacred Woods Care Farm, including Thunderbolt, a 30-year-old pony with a gentle spirit, Becker the majestic horse, Lady Mae, the farm's newest matriarch, and Henry, Peter and Doug, the curious and mischievous goats.
They'll also meet pigs both big and small, ducks, cats, Puddles the rabbit, Zeke the gentle giant wolfhound, the farm's newest feathered rescue friends and, of course, Goose the rooster, the tiny feathered dragon and beloved hero of Fairyland.
Animal interactions are always guided, respectful and focused on building confidence, compassion and connection.

The Sacred Woods is a care farm and gathering space devoted to rest, connection and nervous system wellbeing.
Traditionally, care farms are nature-based spaces that support wellbeing through connection with animals, land and community. At The Sacred Woods, we offer gentle experiences rooted in quiet observation, reflection, creativity, social inclusion and authentic connection. We are a place where all beings are equal on the web of life and you are invited to arrive exactly as you are, just as the animals are modelling.
The woods, dome and animals invite a slower rhythm, one grounded in presence, instinct and care.
We honour different ways of being and strive to create a gentle, welcoming inclusive space where neurodivergent, queer and gender-diverse folks feel safe to arrive exactly as they are.
A Wonderling’s Beginning

Together we'll create ears, tails, masks and magical keepsakes, explore hidden trails, solve forest mysteries, build shelters, forage for treasures and spend time connecting with the animals who call The Sacred Woods home.
