A summary
Roots – Outdoor Skills, Adventure and Friendship for Tweens & Teens Roots is a welcoming group for tweens and teens who love being outdoors, trying new things, and making friends. Each session is packed with hands-on activities, challenges, and opportunities to develop practical skills while having fun. Our aim is to create a supportive community where young people feel safe, confident, and valued. Through a mix of bushcraft, fire lighting, tool use, and outdoor challenges, participants will learn new skills, build on existing knowledge, and gain greater independence and self-confidence. Working together is a big part of Roots. Team challenges throughout each session encourage communication, problem-solving, leadership, and resilience, helping young people develop skills that will benefit them both outdoors and in everyday life. Whether your teen is already passionate about the outdoors or simply looking for a new adventure, Roots offers a place to belong, learn, and grow. Come and discover new skills, build lasting friendships, and enjoy the freedom of learning in the great outdoors. All children will be provided with food. We will be in touch a week before the session for you to make your choices. Paid places are available for £30.

Rebecca
Leader
You will most likely meet me as soon as you arrive at Acorn Hollow, I feel privileged that I get to share Acorn Hollow with others. You will usually find me with a special stone, a piece of wool I found in the field, a leaf or some other treasure in my pocket. I get to call the animals here my family and the dale my home. I can't wait to meet you and get to know you. I hope to see you really soon.

Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing, clothes and shoes that are allowed to get muddy are essential. If you have wellies and waterproofs please bring them with you. The more layers you can wear the better, that way we can add or take off layers depending on the weather. During warmer weather please ensure you still wear long trousers or leggings, it would be advisable to apply sun cream before the sessions also as we will be in the sun for much of the time. Hand Washing/Safety Safety instructions will be delivered at the start of the session. We will encourage children to wash and sanitise their hands at various points during the session, please could you ensure you help your children to make sure their hands are clean before leaving the site. We recommend that pregnant women avoid attending during the lambing season (March-April) due to the slight risk of the transmission of Zootronic infection from our animals. These are generally transmitted through direct contact with lambing animals. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of complications from infection.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
