How Kangaroo Explore and Discover Club works
Each Wednesday, participants explore a different location with the KDS support team. A simple clue sheet guides the day, with questions to answer and challenges to complete along the way.
Working in small teams, participants share ideas, solve puzzles and practise finding their way around different places. Activities provide opportunities to build communication, planning and problem-solving skills through practical experiences.
Staff are on hand throughout the day to provide guidance and support participants to get involved.
