Each session will include: -Circle time around the campfire at the start and end - An explore walk through the wilder woods with games or den-building - Crafts using natural materials - Cooking together on the campfire - Free play, exploring the camp area & mud kitchen - Learning about plants and animals of the forest We can provide waterproof coats and leggings for most ages for the session, so don't let the weather put you off!
