CHILDREN across Tamworth have been getting back to nature and enjoying the great outdoors thanks to a summer holiday camp with a difference.

The unique new Omega Outdoor Adventure is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of young people through a wide variety of outdoor activities.

IN the news we are seeing more studies come to light with research showing that play is likely the most effective way for children to learn life skills and discover their interests and passions.

Add this to the scientific evidence showing that being in nature increases cognitive performance while decreasing stress levels and that forest schools can provide an advantage for the mental development of a child.
