What is Forest School?

Forest School is a holistic approach that helps children develop their confidence and self esteem by using the outdoors nature and high risk tools and fire to bring out their courage and indepednance.   Forest School originally came from Scandinavia where children play doing forest school activities until they 7.  They do not start formal education and indoor lessons until this age.

These are some forest school activities typically done within the sessions:

  • Making fire
  • Cooking food on a fire
  • Roasting matshmallows
  • Felling trees
  • Whittling wood
  • Making natural arts and crafts
  • Using clay and natural resources
  • Observing nature
  • Using mallets and saws
  • Clippign and cutting nature
