What We’ll Do
From August we’ll be spend more time out in Queen's Park, getting to know the landscape and the materials we can work with.
There’ll be more crafting- woven things, natural dyes, pigments, drawing, cooking - alongside space for young people to follow their own ideas a bit more.
Some sessions will be more guided, some more open.
Activities might include;
Bushcraft and firecraft
Cooking on an open fire
Exploring natural art materials: weaving, carving, charcoal art, dyeing
Foraging and outdoor discovery
Team games and creative challenges
All activities are supervised by three experienced youth/forest school practitioners (1:6 ratio) and follow established fire and tool safety approaches.
