Introduction

Outdoor, nature-based learning that focuses on the holistic development  of the child

Forest school is essentially outdoor, nature-based learning that focuses on the holistic development of the child; Forest Schools are discovery and exploration-based experiences that all promote the  love of learning so that individuals understand on an experiential level the love of learning new things at the same time developing one’s character, resilience, social skills, and more.  

Age: Between 5 – 15 years old (accompanying parents/ guardian) 

 

The benefits of forest schooling

Children benefit from the simple act of being outdoors. Research has shown that it improves mental and spiritual health, communication skills and social relationships, among other things. Connecting with nature helps children feel part of the world. Just being outside in nature is calming, and you can see that in how children behave.

Children learn to assess, appreciate and take risks, making sensible, informed decisions about how to tackle the activities and experiences they encounter. They’re learning to be self-sufficient and take care of themselves, which boosts their confidence and self-esteem. Through trial and error, they learn to deal with failure and develop the resilience to keep trying: a vital skill in the classroom as well as outside.
