About the event

Perfect for homeschooled teens, these regular Forest School sessions at Summer Leys are a great way to get outdoors and experience our natural world, learning new skills and meeting new people. We will be getting stuck into a range of Forest School activities such as bushcraft, nature exploration, survival skills and more, providing opportunities to connect to the natural world to aid in development and learning.

This block of 3 sessions will be run on the following Thursdays: 17th October, 7th November and 21st November (10:30am-12:30pm).

  • These sessions are aimed at 11-17 year olds
  • Adult supervision is required and you can get involved in the fun or simply enjoy your time in nature (we have logs available for sitting but please feel free to bring a camping chair if you'd prefer).
