6-8 Years
Make new friends and try new exciting indoor and outdoor activities.
Every week, they gather in groups called Beaver Colonies to hop, skip and jump their way through lots of different games and activities – achieving anything they set their minds to, and having lots of fun along the way.
Beaver Leaders
Each Colony of 6 to 8 year olds is led by one or two adult Beaver leaders. They are fully qualified and trained to supervise activities, keep everyone safe, and share their skills. Beaver Leaders are often nicknamed after characters from nature, books, or films, and sometimes by their real first name. Other adult volunteers are on hand to help and assist the leaders.
