‘my son has attended two of the forest school camps and has loved every minute. as a child who had to be "strongly encouraged" to go to school, he bounds out of bed with enthusiasm and waits by the door on forest school days. on collection every day we were met with the biggest smile, and a happy, tired, grubby face. the team are full of love and kindness and create magical, gentle, nature-focused activities in a nurturing environment that all children seem to thrive in. highly recommended.’ kate flurry (kinship parent)

5yr olds who have previously attended camp or weekly kinship sessions can request to attend a 4/5 day camp (with an older sibling).

if ages are balanced within bubble they will be approved by our kinfolk and can book on.

*approval must be sort in advance of booking. this is to ensure ages are balanced within the bubble and facilitators are sure they can manage 4/5 days.

email us here to request.

we have places available for a parent/grandparent volunteer on our camps in exchange for a child place. this is an invaluable opportunity to get insight and experience firsthand what happens at one of our camps and gain some solid experience working as a part of an incredible team within this context. we would like to be able to give this to someone who has a genuine interest to learn about what we are doing.

all information about volunteering can be found here.

this is all held within a self-contained private woodland where the children really have the space to be free and access deep play and learning which is a rare thing to find in london.
