A lovely review from a party earlier in the year ☺️ Email [email protected] for enquiries
"Clare is friendly, confident and extremely capable. She instantly had my 10-year-old daughter and her friends engaged and participating in a variety of forest skills. The kids loved being outside and it was so much more pleasant for us parents than being stuck inside a stuffy soft play!
I wasn’t feeling well on the day of the party and later found out I had covid, but thankfully having Clare in charge meant I didn’t have to worry about looking after the kids. They had a fantastic time building a den, lighting fires and toasting marshmallows. Clare exercised exactly the right balance of leadership and fun, keeping the kids safe, while ensuring they got the most out of their outdoor adventure. I would highly recommend her parties." - Sarah B

We packed a huge amount into our fabulous Stone Age Day with year 3 at St Aidans Primary School last week. We built shelters, tried different fire lighting methods, looked at natural resources for kindling, cordage and tool use. We looked at flints and stones and had a go at basic tool use.
We also had time for clay pots, stone age painting and cooked some sweet apples around the campfire to finish!

We had a great time in the cool shade of the trees today 🌳 There were a lot of familiar faces and a few new ones too.
We used saws, palm drills and knives/peelers to make spinning tops. We built dens, made tree faces, whittled, ate marshmallows, relaxed in the hammocks and lots more. Some of the older children worked hard on their knife skills with great results.
Some of the activities we do aren't always easy, but the children persevere which in turn helps with resilience. And none of this would be possible without the amazing support team I have working with me, so a big thankyou to them 😊

Branch Into The Woods

Branch Into The Woods is a relatively new venture for me. I have spent my working life in various offices doing various roles. After being stung and left significantly out of pocket last year, I decided enough was enough and I needed to find my real vocation – and I think I have.

I LOVE nature. As a kid I was always in the garden watching the frogspawn, climbing trees, fishing for minnows in the local stream and generally digging in the mud, and I love doing these things with my children.

Our local primary school has a lovely wooded area, and since September I have run woodland club sessions there. I also volunteer and take out their reception class each week, with the help of another mum, which they love.

I am booked to do my Forest School Level 3 Leader course in October which I am really excited about, and I’ve created this page to document my journey, and it will eventually become my Forest School business page 😊
