Hollybush: Wild Play at Skelton Grange (8-12 Yr Olds)

Set up camp for a day of wildness in the woods at TCV Skelton Grange…

Activities will vary from session to session depending on the season and the group – but past Wild Play days have included:

Wide games, shelter building, fire lighting, campfire cooking, field games, hammock hanging, wild food walks, woodwork crafts, string making, bows and arrows, stalking and tracking, pyro-carving and charcoal making.

The cost per child is £25 (+ VAT and Eventbrite booking fee) and includes a day of outdoor games and bushcraft activities led by experienced leaders.

Sessions run from 10am – 4pm.

Please bring a packed lunch for the day.

Please be aware that there is currently a security cabin and gate about halfway along Skelton Grange Road. This is for the construction site next door to the Environment Centre.

If you travel by car they will probably note the vehicle registration, ask for the driver’s name and where you are going (tell them TCV). It is simply to keep track of traffic entering and leaving. If you are walking down you can go straight past. Essentially, don’t be worried when you see it, you are going to the right place!

“The kids really enjoy their days – it is great for them to have a whole day outdoors learning new skills.”

“It is a wonderful opportunity to try new activities in a supportive and stimulating environment. ‘J’ found the adults inspiring, and can’t wait to come back!”

All proceeds support the charitable work of The Conservation Volunteers at Skelton Grange Environment Centre.
