FOREST HOLIDAY CLUB

Forest Holiday Club

Join us for some nature fun and adventures in the forest. Kids explore and play in nature, connect with the natural environment, meet new friends and feel the awe and wonder that being in the forest has on us. As with all our activities, holiday clubs follow the Forest School ethos of child-led learning and discovery in the outdoors. No two days are ever the same; we take our lead from the children’s interest and the conditions of the day, exploring insects and their habitats, building dens, creating woodland crafts and playing games, going on adventurous walks, engaging with some nature art, getting some physical play and balancing on ropes and relaxing on hammocks.

WHAT KIDS SAY

“Watch me walk on water, this is the best day ever! (said of river swing)” 

“Can I be the potter? I do plate making and I’m really good at it! (said of mud play and village creation)” – Ben

“We’re basing ours on a humming bird nest! (said of fort building)”

“I love nature – it’s just the best – I can find everything and anything of nature things to make stuff and it’s all just amazing (said of weaving flower crowns)” – Lily

A few things to note before you book

WHAT HOLIDAY CLUB IS

WHAT HOLIDAY CLUB IS NOT

  • A chance for your kids to enjoy unstructured play outdoors
  • An opportunity for your kids to make new friendships and relationships

  • A place for guided learning through safe exploration in nature to take place
  • A supportive and positive environment for kids to be exposed to a vast range of creative activities, nature arts and crafts, nature and environmental exploration, team building games, bushcraft skills, nature walks and lots of water and muddy play!

  • All of this is how learning through play in nature unfolds

  • A structured learning environment with measured outcomes
  • A tightly controlled, project-oriented activity group for kids
  • An iterative course on nature with homework and theme or topic repetition – no two days are the same!
  • A space for kids to play with toys with adult supervision

  • This is not how we encourage learning or play to unfold with ease

We guarantee your kids will have fun, will make memories, and will come back home full of joy and new discoveries.
