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!
