What are Nature Ninja awards?
- Based on the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’, Nature Ninja awards encompass fun, nature-connection based activities that can be achieved on levels appropriate for each participant.
- The award is gained by attending 5 sessions, necessary to achieve a Nature Ninja certificate
- The aim of Nature Ninja awards is for learners to experience nature connection through guided activities and also to deepen connection with themselves through noticing how spending time connecting with nature can help them feel better inside (more centered and grounded).
- Nature Ninja awards involve engaging with a range of activities, designed and aligned with nurturing development of self-confidence, self-esteem, motivation and resilience in participants.

Outdoor Tribe location
Our location is a beautiful, tranquil ancient woodland just outside the village of Sudborough, just off the A6116 that runs between Thrapston and Corby.
