Where the adventure begins

Under 5s Sessions - Forest Fun
Fridays Term Time!
These sessions are run by a recognised forest school provider and within the guidelines of the forest school principles and ethos; a long-term process of frequent and regular sessions in a woodland or natural environment, rather than a one-off visit. The sessions takes place in a woodland to support the development of a relationship between the learner and the natural world. Aimed at all preschool children, with forest activities, such as crafts using natural materials, den building, exploring, mini beasts, cooking on fire etc
We use natural resources for inspiration, developing, where appropriate, the physical, social, cognitive, linguistic, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of the learner. It all makes for a great, fun-packed session not just for your little one but for you too.
These sessions are bookable as a block for a half term.
Choose from two time slots: - 10am til 11.00am
We meet 10 minutes before the start of the session front of the Visitors Centre at Bodenham Arboretum DY11 5TB
