Forest School
In our Forest School, we believe that children learn best when they explore and connect with nature. Our sessions are designed to be fun, educational, and enriching, all set outdoors in our lodge.
During our time together, children get the chance to engage in a variety of activities such as mindfulness exercises, where they learn to be present and calm; creative crafting using natural materials learning to whittle and use other tools, and outdoor play that encourages imagination, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Our goal is to foster a love of nature, build confidence, and develop important life skills in a relaxed supportive environment.
