Forest School & Outdoor Learning in York

If you want your child mucking about with mud and sticks rather than a worksheet, Wild Things is the one option here. It runs in the grounds of a school in York, close to the centre, for ages one to eleven, with a mud kitchen, a sand pit and a campfire where they toast marshmallows. There is free parking and toilets with baby changing on site, plus food available there too. It suits toddlers who just want to dig and explore as much as older children ready for proper fire lighting and den building. Everything happens outdoors, so pack for the weather rather than hope for the best. With only one forest school listed for York, it is worth building a session around nap times or school pick up, since sessions are child led and run at their own pace.
