EXPERIENCES

All forest school experiences are age and stage appropriate, decided by the forest school leaders, which allows our participants to challenge themselves and learn new skills. the forest school experience enables participants to spend time outdoors in a natural environment, exploring, playing, and taking part in activities such as:
• den building
• making fires
• exploring and interacting with nature
• arts and crafts
• risk taking.

these experiences build confidence, develop social skills, develop physical skills, and contribute to cognitive development.
