Explorers

---

At The Wilderness Grove our Wild-schooled groups are intended to be long term Forest School groups rather than drop-in sessions. This is to enable children and families to build relationships and networks vital to home education.

​

Child-led learning and a relaxed approach allows children to learn at their own pace and focus on their interests. They can choose to learn through essential play discovering the equipment, trails and exciting things dotted around the woods to engage their imagination. Mud kitchen, water table, dens, hammocks, woodland creatures and much more.. 

Or discover, develop and master skills involved in bushcraft, survival, carving, fire lighting and den building.

​​

Our experienced Forest School Leaders use observation and reflection to adapt sessions to cater each individual's needs. Instructional activities provide forest schoolers with opportunities to stimulate learning and develop life long skills.

​

Sessions:

Thursday 1-3 pm - 6-16 yrs old

Prices:

If you are new to Explorers and would like to come along and give Forest School a try, you can book an introductory individual session.

Individual Session £9 per child (Siblings after first child £8) ​  

Forest School is intended to be a long-term process to develop a child's confidence and give their learning direction through a nature connection.

We take bookings of prepaid sessions for a half term and ask for 7 days notice should you not be able to attend and we will adjust the accounts to reflect your attendance. Should we need to cancel the session for any reason it will not be charged for. 

We use the FAMLY Platform to invoice and keep in touch with parent/carers showing our observations.

Groupings of our Wild-schooled sessions are based on age however can be flexible to cater for Home Ed families with children spanning age ranges.
