Saturday Club Kids’ Adventure with Sticks and Stones

Located near Laurencekirk in Scotland, Sticks and Stones offers the Saturday Club, a vibrant, child-centered outdoor program that transforms local woodlands into a dynamic playground for learning and discovery. This inviting two-hour session runs on the first Saturday of each month, rain or shine, inviting children to engage hands-on with the natural world through bushcraft, music, arts, and campfire cooking.

Set against the backdrop of Scotland’s characteristic mixed woodlands, the program encourages kids to get messy and curious, building skills like treehouse construction, responsible risk-taking, and environmental stewardship. The woodland itself features native Scots pine, oak, and birch, providing a rich habitat for local fauna such as squirrels and songbirds.

What sets Saturday Club apart is its child-led structure, placing play and friendship at the center while fostering a deep connection with nature. Sticks and Stones champions inclusivity and accessibility, striving to remove barriers so every child can participate fully and safely. Parents of the youngest participants can join in to support their little adventurers.

The location benefits from its proximity to picturesque countryside just outside the small town of Laurencekirk, making it a convenient spot for families living in or visiting Aberdeenshire. The area’s quiet, unspoiled woods offer a refreshing contrast to urban life and a habitat where children can learn about local wildlife and traditional skills.

Saturday Club is more than an outdoor class — it’s a community where environmental awareness grows naturally alongside social confidence and creative expression. For families seeking a meaningful, active way for their kids to spend a Saturday morning, Sticks and Stones delivers an authentic woodland experience rooted in place and purpose.
