Earth Force Education Leaders look forward to working with your child at the Irish National Heritage Park on Saturday 6th June.

We have multiple activities on offer from den building, fire lighting techniques, make-and-create areas with tools (observed by a leader), relaxing area with a hammock, nature crafts (inks and dyes, clay crafts, willow crafts), charcoal making, slippery slopes to slide down and a mud kitchen/play area. We also play games and develop our nature awareness skills.

Age: Suitable for children age 5 up to age 11 years.

Times: 10am to 3pm

Cost: €35 per child

What your child needs to wear and gear to bring:

Wear long sleeved thermal tops and trousers tucked into socks for protection against cold, insects and nettles stings. Avoid cotton as it stays wet and cold. A fleece layer on top of thermals.
Waterproof jacket, waterproof leggings, hat, scarf & gloves.
A backpack for them to carry their gear.
Bring a very good lunch for sustained energy. Lots of food they like, think complex carbs and protein.
Plenty of snacks (not too many sugary treats. Some complex sugars are helpful to keep us warm on a cold day by keeping our blood sugars up... think fruit, muesli bars etc.)
Water bottle (please use reusable bottle) and a hot drink in a flask is nice too
Good outdoor footwear:hiking boots, outdoor runners or wellies with two pairs of socks.
Spare socks x 2 and spare light trousers in case we get wet in a separate plastic bag to keep them dry and to put wet items into.
NB! Please pack any medications needed by your child.

The Forest School ethos that underpins our work is that of child-led play and personal development so learning happens holistically for each child.

All our camps are run by highly experienced Forest School Leaders, our Leaders and assistants are Garda Vetted by Earth Force Education and are current Outdoor First Aid trained. We go out in all weathers except high winds (40kmph).
