What if it rains?

Will my child get dirty?

"There's no bad weather, only bad gear"

A bit of rain has never stopped anyone from going into the forest.

That is why it's important that your child brings rainproof clothes with him / her when coming to join the group. However, I'm setting up a shelter at the camp, in case the rain is really too heavy.

Will my child get dirty?

Yes, most likely. Playing in the wood is great fun but it's definitely not clean. We will also be using craft materials which can be quite messy so don't forget to ask your child to wear clothes that are not too precious to you. Best is to bring spare clothes for afterwards, or a bag to sit on in the car.

Do we go out in all weathers or cancel?

I will cancel the outing in case of high winds and high expectations of lightning as it is not safe to be in the woods in these conditions. If that happens, I will try to find a way to remplace the missed session on another occasion.

Does Forest groups have any impact on the environment?

Let's try to have a positive effect on the environment ! The goal of this time in the forest is also to raise awareness on the beauty of Nature and ways to protect it, so we always bring waste bags with us to pick up the rubbish we find on our way (whether it's ours or not) and try to have a "no trace" attitude.
