This Easter we ran a forest school on Windmill Hill as part of the school’s holiday programme. We worked in conjunction with The Youth Trust and provided a 4-day programme for children in Torbay in receipt of free school meals and who were young carers.
The programme was varied and included fire building, den making, camp cooking, tree climbing, tight rope walking, slingshot competitions and much more. One of the many comments from the children that summed up this experience was:
‘I love it here – I am allowed to do stuff I couldn’t do at home – my mum would never let me near a fire!’
Here are some of the photo highlights.
