Overview
Learning Outside the Classroom, Growing from the Ground Up
Forest Schools is a child-led, nature-based educational approach that builds confidence, creativity, communication, and resilience. Children learn through exploration, free play, and carefully supported “risky play”—such as tool use, campfire skills, and natural construction.
What to Expect
Our sessions are run by Caroline, a qualified Biology and Science teacher with deep roots in outdoor education. Whether for a school, home-ed group, or youth organisation, we tailor each Forest School series to your group’s needs.
Available for schools, groups, and educational settings.
