Forest School sessions, run by Youth Options at Itchen Valley Country Park, allow pupils to learn new skills such as witling and fire building as well as an opportunity to engage in nature in new ways that they would have likely not experienced before. As well as the activities put on in the Youth Options private area, pupils are also given the opportunity to explore the park as a whole and learn about the wildlife and boscage that they are surrounded by.
Our boys also get to experience cooking outside, where they make and share a range of different foods. Due to being out in the wild, we sometimes stumble on some wildlife they normally wouldn't see on their day to day.
