Forest School

Forest School is a child-led learning process offering children and young people opportunities for hands on education in the outdoors. Through regular interaction with a woodland and a familiar group, participants engage in a wide variety of learning including curriculum based and personal development

."With Luke's support and experience during my sons time at school he managed to keep him focused. My son has ADHD among other things and he always knew his calm place was with Luke and Forest School. Luke is an excellent role model and support network for my son but myself also. Thank you Luke.

Wild N' Well - Outdoor Therapeutic Work

Wilderness/Outdoor Therapeutic Sessions include elements of Forest School and Bushcraft but approach the activities in a more flexible manner and offer more time for reflection and relaxation. Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of clients and are adjusted as the programme develops taking a participant-led approach. The content of the sessions will initially be determined by the age and the perceived abilities of the group.

Time and consideration are given to the types of experiences on offer, ensuring they offer therapeutic engagement and opportunities to explore themes of importance.

‘Fantastic bespoke programme devised by Luke. The young people looked forward to each session and got so much out of them. It was brilliant to see them grow in confidence and stature each week. I would highly recommend.’
