-Hands-on experience of outdoor games and activities that all children and young people can engage in

-How to safely put up a hammock (risk assessment)

- Fire (risk assessment; preparation, safety rules and how to light, run and cook on a fire with a group/ class of children)

Kit will be supplied. Hot drinks and easy fire side snacks will also be part of the course.

Please dress appropiately for the weather and bring your lunch on the day.

As Leigh and Andrea are both seasoned Forest School Leaders, the training day will also have a focus on inclusion, 'leave no trace' and sustainability.

The cost for the training day is £85 and you will receive a certificate of attendance and participation, outlining the skills that you have learned and achieved.

We look forward to spending the day in nature with you.
