Walesby Forest is a place where learning steps beyond the classroom and into the great outdoors. Set in a beautiful woodland environment, we offer unforgettable residential and day experiences for primary and secondary school children, combining adventure, education and personal growth.
Through residential and day visits, hands-on outdoor activities and carefully designed enrichment programmes, pupils are encouraged to explore, challenge themselves and build confidence in a safe and supportive setting. Whether it’s developing teamwork around a campfire, discovering nature through immersive learning, or taking part in exciting physical challenges, every experience at Walesby Forest is designed to inspire curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Our school packages are ideal for children from aged 5 to college aged students and we are always happy to discuss your schools needs to help create an amazing experience for your students and staff.
