The Valley Project runs regular, free, open access play sessions where children use hand tools to build dens and climbing towers, or anything else their imaginations run to. We source locally a wide range of building materials for them to use. We give children the freedom to plan the space and construct the play space safely. Children also cook campfire meals and snacks every session.
