School Holiday Adventure Camp
At our forest school during the school holidays we offer week-long, all-day Adventure Camps for primary school-aged children.
Activites
Children attending our Adventure Camp take part in all kinds of interesting outdoor-based activities such as den building and bushcraft, toasting marshmallows over open fires, cooking meals, creating wonderful artwork out of natural materials found on-site, creature hunts, storytelling, wild games, lots of physical exercise and much, much more!
Busy making Playdough!

FAQs
What happens when it rains?
We love the outdoors and appreciate nature in all weathers. We never see any kind of weather as ‘bad’, although we do have a covered outdoor classroom if anyone would like a cosier moment.
What should my child wear?
We are outside all the time so need to be prepared accordingly; waterproof trousers and coat, sunhat, sun cream and old clothes — we never plan to come home clean!
What about meals?
Snacks are included as part of the price of the day-long Adventure Camps, children will need to bring a packed lunch with them. All our meals and snacks are eaten outside — some we will prepare ourselves in the great outdoors!
Who runs the Forest School?
Sessions are led by Little Peanuts’ nursery manager, Sam, who is a qualified forest school leader. She is helped by other experienced members of staff. Everyone supervising children at Adventure Camp has a paediatric first aid qualification.
What are the toilet facilities?
As well as having handwashing facilities in our woodland area, we have access to full toilet facilities within Little Peanuts.
