Lovely quotes from our families who attended the Summer course
​
"It's hard to find a course that he enjoys and stays focused on and interested in for any length of time. This course kept him engaged and he said he had a brilliant time. Will definitely recommend to others and will be booking again"

"My daughter was a little nervous going on a course for the first time and not being with any of her friends. I dropped her off and drove away feeling worried and hopeful that she would have a good time but promised if she wasn't happy then the next day she didn't have to go! When I returned to pick her up all I saw walking up the field was a great big beaming smile and her first words to me were we have had the best day ever , I loved it, Thank you so much for all you do for the children of Bedfordshire! She is already looking forward to next year! "
Easter Courses 2024
Two days. Nearly 70 children, Four fantastic activities! In sport, the children developed problem-solving, leadership and teamwork skills. In pond dipping, we found newts. As well as building dens in bushcraft and our new activity in Arts and Craft, the children did some amazing paintings and took their masterpieces home to enjoy. Even though it was muddy all the children had a wonderful time and our feedback shows they can't wait to return
We were also delighted to welcome The Grange Academy back to the Leys for a fun-filled day of outdoor learning and we are excited to continue building our partnership in the future.
Lovely quotes from our families who attended the Easter course
"Another fabulous day for my child at Country Days. He came out and I asked him if he'd had a good day, and he said "No, I've had an amazing day!". When I said he'd been outside for 6 hours, he said the day had felt like 10 minutes. He praised his group leader, and all the activities he'd done. Thank you so much for arranging this for the children!"
"My child absolutely loves coming, where she can be outdoors and learn valuable lessons such as den building, arts and crafts among lots of others. She is only gutted she will now be too old to attend, but has said she would love to help out when older. It's just a shame it's only on twice a year as I think the children benefit so much from these sessions. Carry on the good work x"
