Junior Eco Warrior Program in Six Senses Yao Noi

To make the most of summer holidays, parents can explore an ‘edu-staycation’ for their children. Following themes of Farm, Nature and Re-creation, the three-day Junior Eco Warrior program at Six Senses Yao Noi aims to educate future changemakers through hands-on experiences and outdoor adventures. Children can collect fresh eggs, meet Kevin the goat, spend time sowing seeds, and head to the beach to learn the importance of keeping marine ecosystems clean. They can also learn how to turn trash into treasure in a 3Rs Workshop and try their hand at building villas for the resort’s resident hornbills out of recycled timber.

Keeping children engaged also allows parents to enjoy some precious ‘me time’, embarking on a wellness journey in the spa, enjoying a leisurely brunch, or dipping in the pool uninterrupted.

The Junior Eco Warrior Program is complimentary for all guests staying at the resort.
