About this activity
Kids Go Wild Forest School runs outdoor sessions for children at Dane Bank Green Space in Denton, Manchester, following the six core principles of the Forest School ethos. The team are all qualified Level 3 practitioners who act as observers and facilitators rather than directing activities, letting children lead their own play and discoveries in a natural wooded setting. There is something here for different stages and circumstances: a home education woodland programme, holiday clubs, weekend family sessions, and birthday parties.
