Our Bushcrafters Forest School sessions are designed specifically for home-educating families, offering activities emphasising skill mastery, teamwork, and personal growth in nature’s classroom. These sessions are great for children who are looking for a more focused Forest School session with the chance to develop practical skills, face exciting challenges, and learn while still retaining elements of free-play.
Why Choose Our Home-Ed Forest School?
1. Learn Through Play and Practical Skills
Children will engage in hands-on activities like tool use, den building, fire lighting, and bushcraft. These experiences not only build practical skills but foster confidence, independence, and an understanding of risk management in a safe and supportive setting.
2. Small Groups, Big Opportunities
With intentionally small group sizes, every child receives personalized attention, allowing them to develop their strengths at their own pace. This setup also encourages deep friendships and meaningful social interactions, ideal for home-educated children.
3. Build a Strong Community
Our sessions don’t just support children—they bring parents together, too. Share experiences, build connections, learn skills and become part of a community of like-minded families who value outdoor learning and connection.
4. Nurture Confidence, Risk-Taking, and Social Skills
Through a mix of structured activities and free play, children learn to take calculated risks in a safe, supportive environment. Whether it’s using tools, climbing trees, or starting a fire, every activity helps them build confidence, resilience, and teamwork skills while fostering their social development.
5. Led by an Experienced, Passionate Instructor
With over 10 years of experience working with children, I’m fully qualified as a Forest School leader and have a strong background in bushcraft and education.
