Outdoor Adventure - Beach Bonanza

Creating the most outrageous sand scultpure ever is the task of the day. Sounds simple! However, agreeing on what structure to go for, organizing and dividing the labor, and helping each other when something goes awry ... makes this team challenge a formidable one. Especially as the work has to be completed withing the time budget, and there WILL be a jury .... 

About the Wild Hearts Kids Club Outdoor Adventures

A Wild Heart Kids Club Outdoor Adventure brings kids together in person, and immerses them in the beautiful natural environment of the SF Peninsula - beaches, forests, parks and more. While this is a big value in itself, our programs also come with creative challenges, tasks, or games to stretch the adventurers into "unknown territory": brainstorming, risk taking, trial&error, and real-time teamwork are some of the elements they will practice during each outing. However, the Wild Hearts Kids Club wouldn't be wild if every expedition would go totally according to plan ... I encourage the kids to take charge and change the direction of the adventure - sometimes even changing the location we will go to, or what activities we will do. Having a say in their life's experience is a rare occurrence these days! Weaved into any of the exciting activities of the WHKC is a frequent micro-pausing, checking in with our feelings and emotions, and practicing to be vulnerable, normalizing even strong and uncomfortable emotions, and getting better at being "real" (authenticity!). Over time, kids build trust that it's ok to show up as who they really are, that it's necessary to make mistakes to grow, and that it's normal to have a lot of different emotions - and that we can learn to regulate them. Increased creativity, self-confidence and resilience are core intentions of the Wild Hearts Kids Club Outdoor Adventures.
