Children 5-14 yrs are warmly invited to join us in the woods at this magical time of year for greenwood and seasonal craft, camp fire cooking and free play, inspired by folklore and traditional tales in a spirit of play.
Our aim is to provide a fun, supporting environment that fosters a connection with ourselves, each other and nature, building a young community for the day.
Typically our days start and end with basecamp routine where we meet, discuss and share. During the day there will be the opportunity to play wide games, use simple hand tools, whittle and craft, cook over the fire, construct and build shelters or make the most of a day of unstructured time in nature. We let the children take the lead on their interests and whole heartedly support the sessions becoming child-led.
The sessions are led by Forest School Leaders and supported by a strong, energetic and committed team with childcare, education or outdoor ed backgrounds.

We will top up bottles regularly.
