Yorkshire Wildlings, based in West Bretton, is proud to bring you our summer school for all children aged 5-11.
Over the summer we will be open 0900-1500 providing forest school Monday – Thursday.
Children attending can expect a range of adventurous activities. Will your child learn how to make shelter using materials found in the woodland, or make a tower to defend in water fights? Will they find balance on our tightrope, swing in our hammocks, and eat s’mores on a fire they helped build and light?
We also offer a range of creative crafts, discovery sessions and lots of fun. Will they get messy creating mud sculptures, dyeing their own T-shirts and learning about the natural environment hunting for bugs?
