During these 2 hour weekly sessions (across a 6-week programme) children are encouraged to lead their own learning, doing as much for themselves as possible, with help from accompanying adults only where needed. Our activities are great for problem-solving, communication, creativity and physical development. Growing up with fun experiences in wild spaces can help inspire a love of nature that lasts a lifetime.
Activities are led by a Level 3 trained Forest School leader and all of the activities are based on forest school principles, however our unique site gives us the opportunity to do so much more.
Sessions include a wide range of nature based activities, including pond dipping, minibeast hunts, crafts, den building & fires, and offer a wonderful opportunity for families to have fun together whilst exploring our beautiful reserve.
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Maximum of 4 children per adult. Maximum of 2 adults per child.
Activities are suitable for ages 4-11. Sibling tickets are available for those who want to join in and are old enough to participate in activities. Younger siblings who aren't old enough to participate (under 2 years old) do not need a ticket to attend.
