WOODLAND PLAYSCHEMES

 

We run activities and playschemes for all ages in local woodlands during holidays, half terms and Inset days. Sessions are child led with the emphasis on free play with access to various activities.

 

                            Sessions for over 8's

 

A maximum number of 15 children can be registered for each session with 3 or 4 adults supervising. Activities include nature watch groups, den building, ropes on slopes, scavenger trails, tree and animal identification games, hide and seek, plaster casts of animal tracks, orienteering, digging out clay for camp fire pottery, whistle making, rope bridge building, conservation projects, map sticks and general woodland arts and crafts.

 

Holiday sessions usually last 4 hours and include a camp fire lunch. 

 

 

                           Family Sessions for under 8's

 

Currently our sessions for under 8's are all accompanied by a parent/carer to comply with regulations. There are a number of age appropriate activities available to try.

Sessions are family oriented and older children help with the younger ones. Come with your grandad or auntie! Babies and toddlers are also welcome. Everyone can enjoy the woods and adults and slightly older children enjoy toasting crumpets and marshmallows on the fire.
