About this event
Forest School is an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem, through hands-on learning experiences in a local woodland environment. Forest Schools help children develop holistically, by providing opportunities for child led play, discovery, and supported risk taking through activities like tree climbing, fire lighting and tool use.
For more information on forest school, what your child might get up to and what they will need please see our Parents and Carers Guide. We also have a guide for neurodivergent children to help them preplan their day and know what to expect. If you would like this please email thehive@walthamforest.gov.uk.
Come join us, bright eyed and bushy tailed for fun and adventure in Epping Forest and on our 7 acre site.
