Join us for a new Forest School Summer Camp for ages 5-12 years!

We are thrilled to bring the magic of Wild Kids Forest School to the beautiful grounds of VISUAL this summer! This unique camp blends nature-based exploration with creative expression, full of fun and interactive activities exploring everything from local biodiversity to ancient crafts.

Activities include:

  • Botanical printing
  • Foraging
  • Ink Making
  • Nature Games
  • Fire making
  • Bushcraft
  • Ropes, Knots & Tools
  • Time in Nature
  • And much more!!

This is an opportunity to make, mess and meet new people.

Each day will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions with a break for a packed lunch. Children should bring plenty of food and drinks for the day.

Georgina Kemmy specialises in nature-led creativity. With years of experience working with children in outdoor settings, she facilitates child-led, play-based workshops that follow the core ethos of the Forest School movement - fostering curiosity, connection and a deep-rooted love for the wild.

Numbers are limited so please book your place to avoid disappointment.

It will be possible to pay a deposit and pay the remainder of your booking in increments, please call Box Office for support.

The Forest School Summer School is kindly funded by Creative Ireland.
