Youth Group and Youth Camps
Details
We have had to pause these sessions for now, but please get in touch to be added to our mailing list so you’re the first to know when we get them up and running again!
FULLY FUNDED FOREST SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
A half term block of weekly after school sessions for 12-16 year olds, 4:15pm to 6:15pm on the Wild Meadow each day.
FULLY FUNDED YOUTH FOREST FUN CAMPS
A two or three day school holiday camp for 12-16 year olds, 9:00am to 3:00pm on the Wild Meadow each day.
Forest School Youth Group and Youth Forest Fun Camps are a wonderful session for young people, giving them an opportunity to take risks, build resilience and take ownership of their time in nature- with lots of laughter and fun! As is usual at Beccles Forest Schools, we facilitate the adventures that the young people want to embark on. We start and end gathered together, but otherwise this is a very learner-led session that heads in all sorts of amazing directions!
A typical session might be spent immersed in creating menus of campfire food, or crafting with what we find on the Wild Meadow. Young people are given the opportunity to light a fire and cook food on it, use tools and immerse themselves in nature- den-building, climbing trees, pond-dipping and even exploring the dyke! Young people have the freedom to be themselves and follow their interests in nature.

Our Adventures:
Our latest Youth Group have been very engaged in cooking and crafting! There has been wreath-making with fallen leaves, stir-frying and even cakes cooked in oranges! Creating some delicious-sounding menus was definitely a highlight.
