Grow-Wellbeing Holiday Adventure Club

Drop your children off for 4 hours of fun in nature! Suitable for kids ages 5-15 years. For 16 days during the Summer holidays we will be running Holiday Adventure Club sessions at the Forest School area in Countess of Chester Park. The Holiday adventure sessions will follow the forest school ethos of child-led play and exploration, helping the young people to build resilience and confidence whilst exploring the outdoor environment. Children will learn to be custodians of the natural environment by spending time outdoors and through activities such as story telling, plant and tree ID and bug hunting. We will offer a range of games, stories and nature craft/bushcraft activities along with plenty of time for children to enjoy the woods with swings, hammocks and den making equipment. We will provide food throughout the session, including fruit on arrival, a healthy campfire lunch to warm and feed us and campfire snacks e.g. popcorn or toasted apple. Children will be encouraged to assist with preparing food for lunch to help them learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Food may consist of a hearty vegetable soup and homemade bread baked on the fire, veggie sausages or veggie burgers.

We recommend that you park in the carpark at the top of Countess Court (road opposite the Little Owl pub). From here you should walk the path up the hill from the carpark until you reach the friendly bench. Turn right and you will see the Rangers cabin on the left. We will meet you here! (Please note: the Rangers Cabin in Countess of Chester Park is marked on google maps so you may be able to navigate yourself here if you are coming from a different direction.)
