The Forest School model isn’t just for term time. It can be used and adapted to form the basis of superb holiday schemes.
Whether it’s a single workshop for the whole family to re-wild themselves and learn some new skills in the process or a week-long scheme of a few hours a day, that builds towards a final project, the experience is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved (and the few hours of holiday time respite for parents is pretty good too).
If you’re looking for something over the holidays, why not check out what’s on offer.
