Holiday Camps
I have never picked my kids up from any holiday club to find them that animated and keen to tell me everything they had done.
What to wear at Forest School
Winter clobber!!
From October to even as late as March we advise to dress your children in the following for sessions/parties/camps!
Warm base layers are a MUST...it's all about the layers, they really do trap the heat.
Ski salopettes are great but not essential, jogging bottoms or fleecy leggings are just as good under water proof trousers.
A thick waterproof coat/ski jacket is essential.
add ons: Hat, gloves, scarf, necker and THICK socks!!
*REMEMBER yuor child may be outside from 2-7 hrs in very cold temperatures!
And for a wet day in the woods

Directions: There is NO parking permitted along Chunal Lane or within Gnat Hole Farm. Please meet us on Hague Street (before it turns into Kidd Road and then leads to Derbyshire Level). There is a little walled area with a memorial bench inside it. This is situated opposite ‘Lane Ends Farm’. We will place our banners here (so you can spot us easily) and members of our staff will be here to meet your children. We will then walk the children down a public footpath next to this spot, that leads to our ‘upper base camp’.
At pick up time we will all walk together from our base camp to meet parents at the end of the lane for 4pm.
