What to Expect
Every session follows a gentle rhythm that children quickly come to love.
Arrive & Meet
We meet at the small play park on Groats Road, beside Hazlehead Academy. After a warm welcome, we introduce the day's theme and head into the woods.
Woodland Walk
We explore the woods together, collecting treasures in little buckets along the way. Every walk is different — colours, numbers, wildlife, or just whatever catches our eye.
Camp & Create
About 40 minutes in we reach our camp area, with a tarpaulin shelter if the weather needs it. We have snack and use our collected treasures to make something to take home.
Free Play & Goodbye
The last 20 minutes are free play — digging with spoons, creating mud pies, drawing with chalk, or playing with toy diggers. We usually finish with hide and seek on the way back.
