FARM ACTIVITIES
There are so many different things to do during your stay at Nurture Creek, depending on which package you choose, you have time with Bek and the Animals, what happens in that time is totally up to you, after you book, you will be sent a questionnaire so we can tailor your stay to suit you.
These are the options available for your time, if you have something else in mind, let us know and we can see what we can do!
HELP FEED THE ANIMALS
We feed the gang twice a day and this is your chance to get up close and personal with us by helping feed and learn about our furry family members.
Learn about all the different foods they eat and help fill hay bags and buckets - they certainly love those who feed them!
This is the perfect activity for the younger kids, they can ask their thousand questions and stay outside of the paddocks where they are safe and confident.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Come into the paddocks and interact with whoever is there, or we can choose a particular animal and give you a real bonding experience, with anyone from the cows, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, sheep even our alpacas.
During this time we ask guests to listen into their hearts and connect on a deeper level. That said if kids are involved they just wanna pat everyone and ask their million questions - thats good too!
HORSE ASSISTED CHALLENGES
Building a connection with a horse is an incredible gift. As is gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your loved ones. Bek will come up with a challenge for you to complete together (or independently) to work on some of your biggest challenges. the main themes we see are communication, team work and confidence, but there are loads of other things we can work on together. It's always heaps of fun with lots of learning opportunities.
Ideally suited for older children and adults and sorry, but we can't offer pony rides at Nurture Creek
CAMP FIRE
We can help you arrange a small campfire at most times during the year (fire season excluded). We have a fire pit in one of the paddocks that is all set up tree stump seats.
It's a great connection activity to collect sticks and kindling, work together to build a fire, then sit and enjoy toasting some marshmallows, this is where we can reflect on the days activities and spend time talking about your experiences!
ADVENTURE PICNIC
Starting with a little clue inside a picnic basket left on your doorstep, follow the clues to find produce around the property.
This very fun hunt will lead you through forest and past animals to a secret spot complete with picnic rug and table so you can tuck in and enjoy lunch after your adventure.
Note: Most families find it easier to provide us with the food you know the kids will enjoy, but for an additional cost we can provide delicious local produce for you.

GUIDED NATURE WALK
We have over 5 acres of native bush and we also adjoin the beautiful Sassafras Creek trails so have plenty to explore, which you can do at any time.
But if you would like a Guided Walk with Bek along our trail and through the property, we can arrange it. She'll help you notice all the little things, do a little bit of forest bathing, mindfullness and breathing exercises. Learn about the flora and fauna, hunt scat and fungi, and enjoy the stories of scar trees...you might even find a nest or burrow..
HORSE GROOMING
Building a connection with a horse is an incredible gift. During this experience you'll start by catching one of the horses then learning to lead and groom her. Then you can braid her mane and tail, while learning to listen to her body language.
Sorry, but we can't offer pony rides at Nurture Creek
BEARDED DRAGON ENCOUNTER
Do you love or hate reptiles? Either way, this half hour experience will be a game changer for you.
Our son Lachlan, will introduce you to Bobby, his Bearded Dragon and you can learn about him and how he lives and eats while holding and touching him.
POO PATROL
Animals poop...and with so many of them that equates to lots of it. So most weeks we grab the wheel barrow, head into one of the paddocks, grab shovels and pick it all up.
When we do, we find all sorts of things like dung beetles, fungi and worms. The kids seem to love learning about all the different poos and it's a great way to show the kids that there is always work to be done, and that it's good to pitch in as a team and contribute.
We'll set you up then leave you to connect, you'll be amazed at the conversations that open up while you're busy doing something so repetitive. My favourite way to get my kids to open up and chat!
