STEP UP
Outdoor learning skills
The Croydon Forest School Centre will be launched on Saturday 5 April
2014 at Pinewood Scout Camp in Shirley with a series of activities and
workshops.
The project will deliver outdoor sessions to groups of children and
young people from nurseries, schools, PRU’s, and youth groups.
They are also very keen to offer support to people who are
wishing to set up their own Forest School, or who would like to get
involved more in outdoor play.
