The
SHACs Woodland Adventure Days are an innovative, proven way of allowing
young people aged between 6 and 12 years old to develop and grow by
spending time outside in a safe and supportive environment. We encourage
our young attendees to be free whilst engaging them in valuable
learnings that come from spending time outside in a natural environment,
this is supported by an extremely well qualified team with years of
experience in the outdoor education sector helping young people to learn
new skills, make new friends and have some time for freedom of mind. To
support this we have a strict “No Tech” policy.
Our
Adventures are based on the true principles of “Forest School”
teaching techniques, proven to increase children’s motivation,
confidence and communication skills but with a massive emphasis on fun
and freedom. The young people in our care get to really choose how they
spend their time with us. We supply the knowledge and experience but we
will be led by them in order to deliver what it is that they want to do with their time with us allowing them to make decisions and lead the way for
us to follow.
Your
child will take part in engaging, motivating and achievable tasks in a
safe woodland environment with a team of instructors that are 2nd to
none in this environment. They will have the opportunity to learn about
using tools and managing campfires, experience real Bushcraft
techniques, join in with wide games that encourage independence and
learning, build dens and shelters, rope swings, natural crafts, bridge
building, wildlife spotting and tracking and hammock time! Time for
young minds to develop and process.
Accompanied
by fully trained instructors, they will make new friends and learn new
skills whilst having huge fun guaranteed. We are not here as child care
we are here to assist in the development of young people that care about
the environment and want to learn more without knowing they are
learning.
