What To Expect & FAQ

Learning, Growing… Blossoming Children

Sessions usually start with an introduction to the day at our ‘fire circle’ - the hub of our site. From there, groups break into activities such as woodland crafts, mud play, games, den-building and fire-making. Campfire cookery is a favourite activity, from baking bread to pop corn, and sometimes just a simple, toasted marshmallow!

Usually we take a break mid-session for a snack and a drink.

Sessions end back at the fire circle, when the group has an opportunity to share and reflect on their experiences.
