Forest School

Forest School is an unique holistic educational process that aims to raise self-awareness and self-esteem in an outdoor, non classroom environment as well as enhancing learning . Forest School involves children participating in small achievable tasks, connecting them with the environment and encouraging free exploration.

A typical session

During sessions led by our trained Forest School staff participants could be building shelters, using tools to create a wooden name badge, outdoor cooking, or tuning into the sites and sounds around them. Activities can also be curriculum linked to most subjects.  

Participants benefit in many ways from Forest School including:

• improved  behavior  
•  increased communication skills 
• a positive relationship to learning
•  increased self-esteem and better motor skills.
