About
In our holiday sessions play is our priority. Come along for a mix of bushcraft, arts and crafts, music, campfire cooking and learning about the forest and the creatures we share it with.
- Children learn to build their skills, take calculated risks and look after the natural world whilst building friendships and having fun.
- We recommend water proof clothing and wellies all year round to keep the bugs and dirt out! For those who like to get really messy, a change of clothes for the way home might be needed.
- Not having the right gear should never be a barrier to coming along, so please let us know if you want to borrow some spares.
- Please bring a packed lunch and a drink, its thirsty work in the woods!
- This is an inclusive group and we actively try to overcome barriers to children accessing the group.
