About the event

During this 2 hour session children are encouraged to lead their own learning. 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, which may include pond dipping, minibeast hunts, crafts, den building & fires, and offer a wonderful opportunity for families to have fun whilst exploring our beautiful reserve.

Children do not need to be accompanied by an adult. 

Activities are suitable for ages 11 - 16.

Sessions run from 12:45-14:45.
