Free Forest School Adventure Summer Holiday Club For Kids Aged 5-15
This year we are expanding our Forest School Adventure Summer Holiday sessions to Chester, the Wirral and Liverpool, making this wonderful outdoor holiday club available to more children than ever.
Drop your children and young people off for 4 hours of fun in the forest!
Led by our highly experienced Forest School Leaders, the Holiday adventure sessions will follow the forest school ethos of child-and-young-person-led play and exploration, helping the young people to build resilience and confidence whilst exploring the outdoor environment.
Attendees, aged between 5-15 years old, will learn to be custodians of the natural environment by spending time outdoors and through activities such as story telling, plant and tree ID and bug hunting.
We will offer a range of games, stories and nature craft/bushcraft activities along with plenty of time for children to enjoy the woods with swings, hammocks and den making equipment.
​
These sessions give your child a sense of freedom, fun and companionship in the outdoors.

We will provide food throughout the session, including fruit on arrival, a healthy campfire lunch and campfire snacks e.g. popcorn or toasted apple.
The children and young people will be encouraged to assist with preparing food for lunch to help them learn about nutrition and healthy eating.
Food may consist of a hearty vegetable soup and homemade bread baked on the fire, veggie sausages or homemade pizza!
We cannot wait to welcome your youngsters to our FREE 2025 Forest School Adventure Summer Holiday Club!

What Is the HAF Scheme?
HAF stands for Holiday Activities and Food. It’s a government-funded programme that gives free holiday sessions to children who receive benefits-related Free School Meals.
Our Forest School Is Part of HAF
Our Forest School Adventure Summer Holiday Club is fully funded by the HAF scheme. That means your child can attend for free if they’re eligible.
