Benefits of Our Explore and Grow Sessions

Our sessions inspire children to connect with nature, enhancing their learning experience through exploration and creativity.

Weekday Outdoor Blended Learning Sessions

Explore and Grow – Fridays

This programme is designed for children and young adults aged 5 and above, including home-educated, home-schooled and flexi-schooled individuals.
Location: Epping Green, Hertford, Hertfordshire

Set within a beautiful private woodland, participants are encouraged to become independent learners.

Our qualified School Teachers and Forest School practitioners combine a range of indoor and outdoor forest activities, gently guiding individuals to enhance their critical thinking skills in Maths, English, Science, and woodcraft skills.

At Spirited Woodland, we are committed to supporting holistic development tailored to the individual, promoting growth in essential learning skills while fostering lasting memories. We believe this is achieved through facilitated exploration and play in nature, allowing participants to discover the beautiful gifts that nature offers. As we feel that each person is wonderfully unique, we are happy to discuss any bespoke needs.

Family Forest Sessions

Reconnect with nature and nurture your wellbeing in these creative, family based woodland sessions. These workshops are designed to build family connectivity by offering a calming space to create, relax, focus, and connect with each other. Each session is unique as it changes with the wheel of the year.

All sessions are designed for adults and children 4+

No prior experience needed just the willingness to explore nature and relax together.

A typical session will take you and your family on a magical journey in the woods to explore your new playground.

Connecting with nature through story and craft you will be learning about the importance of the different flora and fauna around us.

Using the gifts from nature, you will be shown how to safely develop your woodcraft and tool skills by creating a craft piece to take home.

Throughout the session you are free to explore the many forest resources, such as bug hunting, insect identification, woodland games and relaxing in the hammocks.
