About the tour

From: £20.00

Forest School is located in a forest near you. It brings you beneath the undergrowth to discover the excitement and adventure under the canopy of of native woodlands. A mixture of ‘thriviv’-al techniques and adventure games, it is aimed at children from 5-12 years old and their parents or friends.

Our Forest School is one in a series of outdoor classrooms that teach children how to learn outdoor skills and enjoy the best nature has to offer. A very popular activity for parents and children alike, it is the opportunity to learn cool ideas to use in family camping trips and holidays away

From adventure games to orienteering, tree-climbing to shelter-building, camp-craft, cookery and wood-working, there is a multitude of practical, fun activities in Forest School for adults and kids alike.

We run accessible Forest Schools for children with limited hearing or vision, as well as reduced mobility.

Meet Our Instructors

Lorcan McBride

Director

I have been making the outdoors both my work and passion for over 10 years now- and every activity brings new people, new places, and new discoveries. What keeps me smiling is discovering the depth of Ireland’s natural heritage- and how people take to it so positively. I have been working with community leaders in Aotearoa/New Zealand for years to understand our own indigenous identity.

Robin Crouch

Director

Robin is a director of the company and experienced outdoor leader. Specialising in environmental education, Robin is a proud home-schooler and spends a lot of time exploring the outdoors on a daily basis with his young family. He loves climbing and canoeing, always including some foraged food en route!
