Forest School: A space to be, grow and belong
At Wayfinders, we offer a small-group Forest School days where children can learn, explore, and build confidence in nature. Our sessions are designed with small groups, creating a supportive environment where every child is known and encouraged to thrive. Rooted in a Forest School ethos, we focus on outdoor, hands-on experiences, from campfire cooking to nature-based play and creative activities. Allowing teens to develop key life skills like teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and self-awareness, all in a relaxed, low-pressure setting. This isn’t just a summer activity, it’s a chance to unplug, make friends, and grow in independence while enjoying the freedom of the forest.

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.
