Youth Group
Details
FULLY FUNDED FOREST SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
Forest School Youth Group is 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 Tuesday might be spent immersed in creating menus of campfire food, or crafting with what we find on The Wild Meadow. Young people will be 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.
