About
Children attending the clubs are given the opportunity to explore the woodland through child-led discovery. This gives the children a sense of independence and with other children makes for lots of imaginative fun and activities. Staff are always present to offer guidance and support when necessary.
- Activities such as arts and crafts, nature hunts, survival skills are delivered by the instructors. Our key emphasis at KWC is that all activities are facilitated not dictated.
Let your kids run wild at KWC! Fun, games, crafts and more importantly lots of child led play.
It is amazing how the kids create, construct and spend time in the woodland during our holiday clubs.
We will also be running daily afternoon focus sessions on things like Bushcraft, Drama, nature trails and tracking and much more.
This course booking can be shared between siblings if more than one child would like to attend but on separate days.
