Bawsey Country Park, with its picturesque lakes and natural landscapes, provides Damara School students with an ideal setting for outdoor education and nature exploration across two consecutive days. Located near King's Lynn, this former quarry site has been transformed into a beautiful country park featuring clear lakes, sandy beaches, and woodland trails.

Students will engage in a variety of outdoor activities designed to develop their appreciation for nature and environmental awareness. Guided nature walks help identify local flora and fauna, while pond-dipping sessions reveal the diverse aquatic ecosystems within the lakes. The park's varied habitats support wildlife observation and field studies that complement the science curriculum.

Team-building exercises utilize the natural landscape, with orienteering challenges, scavenger hunts, and outdoor problem-solving activities that promote cooperation and communication skills. Creative activities including outdoor art, nature photography, and environmental poetry encourage students to respond artistically to their surroundings.

The two-day format allows for more in-depth exploration and a wider range of activities, with the possibility of progressive learning experiences that build on skills developed during the first day. The extended time in nature also provides valuable opportunities for students to develop independence and resilience in outdoor settings.

Safety education regarding water features and natural environments forms an important component of these visits, teaching students to enjoy natural spaces responsibly. These days at Bawsey Country Park combine educational value with the well-documented benefits of time spent in natural environments, supporting both academic learning and student wellbeing.
