Wise Oak Forest School

What is Family Forest Play? This 2 hour session brings families of all ages together in a woodland for open-ended good old-fashioned free play. Some families like to play as a family unit, some children go off and explore alone or with other children and some families join other families in their quests to have fun. Either way it's the perfect way to have children lead the play. Sometimes we climb, make clay, swing, explore. Some times we set off to do one thing but another thing takes our fancy and that's OK. We provide ropes, cords, tarps, hammocks, woodland ID charts, activity guide sheets and access to the brook to help you play but those are not always necessary to enjoy your time. Towards the end of our session, we come together to toast marshmallows over the campfire and share what we have enjoyed. We also like to share ideas for future visits. At the moment, we don't have any toilet facilities. Please take the time to read the Terms and Conditions of this Event.

This club is for children age 5+ who love the outdoors. It's a magical 6 acre woodland where children make friends, play and explore together and get creative at their own pace. Our day begins by coming together at the log circle, discussing our ideas and making plans for the day. We agree on ways to be safe in our environment and go over our essential safety elements. There are tonnes of activities to choose from, such as: bushcraft, nature exploration, artwork, rope craft, den building, hammock hanging, water exploration and bug/bird/squirrel hunting. Activities involving tools are delivered and supervised by trained Forest School leaders but most other activities are self lead. It is ran by qualified teachers, Forest School leaders and Outdoor First Aiders. Please see our Ts and Cs for further information.
