Hope In Nature - Forest School

Another packed couple of Summer Camp days using the themes of Magic and The Eclipse which included a space yoga journey to the moon, hot lava dance, games, making dragons eggs, spell potions and finally our pin hole cameras to see the eclipse. We made wood fired pizzas and tasted dragon fruit for the first time. It was a packed couple of days. We still have some spaces left for our HAF funded nature Summer Camp for those eligible and a couple of paid spaces available. Get in touch details on the poster above. A big thank you to Em Switzer from Hope In Nature for all her creative crafts.
