Forest School & Outdoor Learning in Coventry

Forest school in Coventry is a bit of a niche one right now, with just Rough Close Scout Campsite & Activity Centre on the books. It sits out towards the edge of the city, a 43-acre site with climbing and shooting activities alongside the camping, and it has proper facilities including accessible toilets and a gift shop. Worth knowing before you plan around it: Rough Close is booked out to Scout groups and affiliated organisations, so it is not somewhere you can turn up to as a family. If your children already belong to a Scout group, this is where their outdoor sessions might happen. If not, it is one to keep an eye on rather than book directly, and this page is the place to check back as more forest school options for Coventry come through.
