About

This summer, Ways of the Wild is excited to offer a season of creative workshops for your little ones to dive into! Join us in the wood for an immersive summer of creativity and exploration as we journey through Forest School-inspired crafting sessions. Each day will feature a different craft, ranging from clay sculpting to whittling, using natural materials and learning unique skills along the way.

What to Expect

Daily Crafts: Each day will be dedicated to a different craft, offering a variety of creative experiences.

What to Wear

British weather can be unpredictable, so pack for all conditions. We recommend long sleeves and trousers to protect against insects, plants, and the sun, as well as a sun hat and waterproofs. We’ll ensure there’s always a dry area for your little ones and their belongings.

Food

Please bring a packed lunch. We will provide snacks in the morning and afternoon, including fruit and crackers. All food should be nut-free.
