 The Edventure Project CiC

Community Interest Home Education Group, with Learning, Adventure & Wellness in South Gloucestershire

At The Edventure Project we strive to create a social community group and achieve the following for the families and community that use us to support their home education: to create enriching, engaging and empowering social, play, wellness and learning clubs for children and young people that’s sustainable, adaptable and personalised. We believe that our group should be affordable and accessible to all, both within the home education community and for those not accessing mainstream schooling in South Gloucestershire and surrounding counties. 
Do you wish for your children to go to a group (club) where firstly they are allowed to be themselves, but secondly they are encouraged to be an active part of a community? Do you want them to go to a place where they are given access to the tools they need to become healthy, informed and responsible members of society and aspiring them to achieve great things for themselves and the world?
We wish and want the same for children and young people; including our own.

​

The Edventure Project uses the term "Education" in the form of "Enlightening Experiences" and we fully anticipate that our mentors will be learning as much from and with the children and young people, as they will through the activities we facilitate (offer). Our clubs, projects and workshops are consciously offered to our members to support and complement their overall Home Education especially social skills, not replace or be instead of. We wish to work alongside the children and young people, and their families, to offer socialisation opportunities, teamwork and independent activities including life skills, permaculture, art and creativity to name a few. Learning to be responsible for their own health and well-being is particularly important and with a thread of self direction, it means our members feel more engaged, more open, more confident with their own "Enlightening Experiences". We hope that our members will also feel heard, accepted and know that they can make a difference to themselves and others in our project. 

​

We are also delighted to announce from Sept 2023, our collaboration with Frome Valley Growing Project and their site manager Kate MacDonald for weekly Monday sessions for home educated children and young people at our site. Combining bushcraft, forest school, mindfulness in nature, and permaculture principles the team will offer gentle, seasonal, heart centred nature based sessions that link to the celtic wheel of year. Kate will be supporting to create our own growing space at Mafeking to enable a "Mud to Mouth" type project.

About Us

From the Beginning

Wonder. Explore. Question. Experiment. These are just a few of the skills and qualities that children will develop at The Edventure Project. Since our founding, we’ve focused on supporting kids during all transitions throughout childhood into adulthood.

​

The Edventure Project is the brainchild of Kimberley Vallis (Co-Director) who home (flexi) educates  her boys and wanted more from the system, more from the local Home Education support and more for her outside the box kids. Inspiring and enticing local business woman and mum, Kara Penney, the two women created this unique community club for children and young people out of the traditional schooling system; whether elected home educated or other in other situations.

 

All offered activities are deeply considered and designed to adequately nurture the emotional and intellectual growth of our members. Through offering stimulating situations and hands-on enlightening experiences, our participants are free to develop into bright minds. Reach out to learn, feel and grow more, and register your interest with us today!
