Exciting adventures in our amazing secret willow woodland, playing, gathering around the fire and gaining woodcraft skills.

Monday and Wednesday 5 - 12year olds. Beautiful full days playing and learning woodcraft skills in our gorgeous woodland and meadow.

Join us at Whittle & Spark’s beautiful Willow woodland in Shepperton, to enjoy an adventurous half term out in nature, learning to use tools, carve wood, make fire and craft beautiful things. We'll be playing, learning and getting to know new friends.

Whatever the weather we'll be out exploring and making a luxurious camp in the woods. We come with a programme and materials for the day, from there we include the children's ideas and weave a magic mix of child lead and adult supported play, projects, games, exploration and camp creation.

Each day is different, here are some of the things we do:

Woodcraft skills

Den building

Lighting fires and sparking

Telling stories, maybe we'll tell a tall tale in the den you make!

Campfire cooking

Outdoor crafting. We have lots of colourful wools and string to make anything from dream catchers to bows and arrows.

Wild wide games; capture the flag; Making trails, hiding and tracking

learn to use tools to make things such as pendants and jewellery

Whittling

Minibeast safaris

Playing and exploring

Rope walks

We have a campfire (with something to cook - yum!) and your child will have a chance to make something to take home - as well as new friends, muddy clothes and a big smile!
