Our Vision
We believe nature is the perfect classroom for children to gain important life skills & that constant exposure is vital to a child's health & well being. The paradox of this is that our natural environment needs our children now as its future lies within the values and beliefs we in-still in our children today.
We aim to get children back outdoors where they can learn about & gain an appreciation & respect for their natural environment & in doing so build healthy bodies & happy minds.

Our Program
AICE Club (Awareness & Interactions between Children & their Environment), is a science based environmental education program that takes place in Cairns in Far North Queensland. It is for children aged 7 - 14 and takes place after school on Monday over each school term..
The program is delivered through high levels of collaborations with other local organisations, institutes, government departments, business and individuals. Through fun and engaging investigations, AICE Club introduces children to the scientific concepts of local ecosystems, ecosystem services, biodiversity, human impacts and conservation processes, giving them a holistic overview and understanding of our local region and its intrinsic values.
