About your mentors

Venturewood

Education that grows outdoors

Venturewood is the outdoor education arm of The Petty Pool Trust, a charity supporting young people with learning disabilities and difficulties. We offer inclusive, adventure-based learning that builds confidence, independence, and life skills in a safe, supportive environment. Our programmes run across two sites: our long-established Cheshire woodland centre in Sandiway, and a new location at Delamere Forest in partnership with Forestry England. We offer a mix of activities suitable for all ages and abilities. Whether it’s Forest School, seasonal workshops, wellbeing sessions, school visits, residentials, or community sessions, Venturewood provides high-quality outdoor learning experiences that inspire personal growth through challenge and connection with nature.

Rachel

Outdoor Instructor

Hi, I'm Rachel. I have been an instructor for over 6 years facilitating forest activities such as bushcraft, orienteering, and team games, and adventure sports such as sailing, climbing, paddling, and archery. My perfect Sunday would be a sunrise hike and lake swim, checking on my beehives, and relaxing on hammocks by a campfire as the sun sets. In my spare time I like to crochet, sew, paint and build to create anything I need or make gifts for people.

Learning aims

Aim 1

Children and parents will explore the woodland environment, observe seasonal changes, and engage with natural materials through hands-on activities.

Aim 2

Engage in nature crafts, outdoor games, and activities promoting problem-solving, coordination, and collaborative play.

Cancellation Policy

No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

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.
