'The Field of Dreams': Co-designing an Early Years Utopia

15 May 2026
The Environment Stage

The structure of the presentation will be in two parts -'The why', making an impassioned plea of the science and theory that highlights the benefit of the outdoors for young children. The presentation will then pivot to 'the how' by sharing Cameron's story of how he guided the development of a two-acre grass field into a dynamic utopia now affectionately known as the 'Field of Dreams'. He will share the story of how the space was co-designed with children and supported by a shared vision of parents, staff, and the wider community who have literally planted, built, and re-built the space over a decade to create the amazing play space that is there now.
