Imagine your child creating unforgettable memories this summer holidays – building rafts from upcycled materials to float in crystal clear creeks, constructing cubby houses, and crafting bows & arrows or magic wands with real hand tools.
Wildlings Forest School‘s award-winning School Holiday Programs capture the essence of a screen-free childhood in the great outdoors, where every day is an opportunity to explore, play, and connect with the natural world.
In these immersive, hands-on sessions, children play freely, surrounded by the beauty and excitement of untamed nature. With each activity, from designing rafts and floating them in creeks to working together on bushcraft projects, kids build confidence, resilience, and lasting friendships. They get to explore their independence, solve problems, and enjoy the simple thrill of playing in a natural, unrestricted wild environment – making memories that will last a lifetime.
At Wildlings Forest School, they offer:
Time
A child-led pace that allows kids to explore, try, and grow. Here, they can embrace curiosity, experiment, and learn from both success and failure.
Space
A safe yet boundless natural setting where children can run, explore, and enjoy the magic of wild play – reminiscent of the freedom kids experienced before screens took over.
Resources
With access to real tools like saws, round-tip whittling knives, hammers, ropes, and natural materials, children are empowered to build and create in their own way, bringing their ideas to life.
Under the guidance of skilled Forest School Leaders and Playworkers, their programs combine the independence and creativity of child-led play with the support needed to keep them safe. Parents love Wildlings Forest School for its blend of community, outdoor skills, and child-led play that helps children develop resilience, social connections, and independence.
