Forest School holiday camp in the beautiful woodland of Heath Farm, Swerford.

Open to 5+ years, a full-day immersive forest school camp, will run 9 – 4 pm.

We will be exploring the woodland, using tools, learning about, starting and cooking on the fire, playing, and having fun.

Holiday clubs are extremely physical we offer a true wild nature-based experience so please ensure your child can cope with the demands of the day. Please do let us know if your child has additional needs so we can support them throughout the day. We have a core structure that we follow in the holiday club, but the forest school leaders will also work with the children on their interests.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Please note that this session is not transferable and non-refundable. Sorry, we do not take childcare vouchers.

Tickets: £40.00

Additional information

What is Forest School?

Forest school is an inspirational and fun experience. It is a long term programme that offers learning and development through child-led play, exploration and risk-taking. Its hands-on learning in a natural setting and helps build self-confidence, self-esteem, nature connection and well-being. Forest school involves risky activities such as the use of fire, tools, tree climbing and mud play.

At Muddy Feet nature connection runs through everything we do, in fact its all based on a growing body of research that we use in our programme development.

We use natural items found in the woods for the activities, we believe that Forest School should be a wild experience and not just bringing the indoors outdoors.
