A full day of outdoor adventure, creativity and woodland skills. Our Forest School Holiday Club gives children the chance to spend the day immersed in nature, building confidence, learning practical skills and enjoying the freedom to explore.

Throughout the day, children will take part in a variety of forest school activities including den building, bushcraft skills, nature crafts and woodland exploration. Guided by the children and facilitated by Forest School Meg, sessions balance structured skill-building with child-led play, allowing children to follow their curiosity while developing resilience, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Children might spend the morning constructing dens in the orchard, learning knots and shelter building techniques, before moving on to the afternoon’s bushcraft activities such as safe tool use, fire lighting or outdoor cooking. Creative moments are woven throughout the day, with opportunities to craft using natural materials, whittle small keepsakes, weave with natural fibres or create woodland art.

The day includes time for free exploration, games, storytelling around the fire circle and moments of calm connection with nature. There’s always a rough plan but the day is fully open for the children’s curiosities. By the end of the day, children leave muddy, proud of what they’ve made and full of stories from a day spent outdoors.

What the day may include:

Den building and shelter design-
Bushcraft skills and safe tool use
Fire lighting and campfire cooking
Nature crafts and woodland art
Games, exploration and teamwork challenges
Quiet reflection time around the fire circle

Holiday Club sessions are designed to be active, engaging, supportive, and fun, helping children build independence, confidence, new friendships and a lasting connection with the natural world.
