Forest Camps

​Genuine Forest School is based on the twin principles of risk and trust, and although we are always on hand to lead activities, our goal is the free flow adrenaline fuelled session in which we are only part players.

​We see ourselves as facilitators of these wild time activities and encourage the children to look to nature and the environment for their lead and ideas.

We find this approach creates resilient, tough, problem solvers and deep lateral thinkers.

What we do

  • Please name everything your child brings to camp
  • A pack lunch and water bottle
  • A waterproof bag with a full set of change of clothes and several pairs of socks
  • Long sleeved t-shirts, long trousers (not really jeans as these can be uncomfortable when wet and can restrict movement)
  • Water-proof trousers and coat (not shower proof)
  • Waterproof boots (wellies or walking boots)  We recommend ‘Warm Wellies’ and a discount is available when purchasing online – please ask us for the discount code
  • In cold weather a base layer under normal clothes
  • In darker months children will need a torch, preferably a head torch
  • It is useful to have a simply back pack but not essential
