Create, Explore & Grow
About Create, Explore & Grow
A Roots to Change initiative, Create, Explore & Grow is a nature-inspired programme of creative clubs and holiday camps for children aged 6 to 11.
It’s designed to give children the time and space to play, create, explore and simply enjoy being children.
Led by qualified primary school teacher and Roots to Change founder, Polly Newall, our small groups provide a calm, nurturing environment where children can build confidence, make new friends and discover new interests through creativity, outdoor exploration and play.
We believe children thrive when they have opportunities to:
🌿 connect with nature
🎨 express their creativity
✨ develop confidence
🤝 build positive relationships
From autumn 2026, we’ll be running holiday camps during the school holidays and after-school clubs launching during term time.
Activities Include:
• Nature walks and outdoor exploration
• Mindfulness and wellbeing activities
• Outdoor play and games
• Arts and crafts
• Creative group projects
• Social connection and confidence-building activities
