Our sessions are outdoors, child-led and play-based. Children have the space and freedom to play outdoors however they choose — building dens, making mud pies, swinging in hammocks and playing games with their friends!
We also always have structured activities each session on offer. These could include; tool use, campfire cooking, outdoor crafts and games. No two sessions are the same. The only constant is smiling faces and muddy knees at the end of the day.
What to bring:
A packed lunch
Sturdy shoes
Waterproof jacket and trousers
Sun hat, sun tan lotion
A packed lunch
A refillable water bottle — fresh air and adventure is thirsty work!
A spare change of clothes is always great to have just in case
The day sessions are £35 per day.
Inclusivity
Our holiday clubs are open to all children. The outdoors is a brilliant environment for neurodivergent children and those with additional needs, and we strive to make every child feel welcome. Between us, our staff have twenty years' experience working with SEND students in the outdoors.
We work on a ratio of 1:5, and children attending would need to be able to participate with this level of support. Please get in touch before booking if you'd like to discuss your child's needs and check suitability.

About your mentor
Fire and Fell
Fire and Fell
I'm Kate, a mum of three young children living in North Cumbria and founder of Fire and Fell. I love being outdoors and have always believed that some of the best moments in childhood happen outside — getting muddy, building dens and exploring the natural world. I have recently moved to the Caldbeck area with my family, having been born and brought up in Oxfordshire. I have over ten years' experience delivering outdoor learning across schools, community groups and specialist SEND settings, and have run my own outdoor learning business alongside a career as a SEND teacher down in Oxford. I am a qualified teacher and hold full public liability insurance. All sessions are fully risk assessed. - Level 2 Outdoor First Aid trained - Level 2 Food Hygiene trained - Paediatric First Aid Trained - DSL (Level 3) Safeguarding trained

Cancellation policy
Refunds are not generally available, but may be considered with sufficient notice.
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.
