Woods and Waves

At Woods & Waves children and young people have the opportunity to connect with nature, use tools, enjoy the warmth of a campfire, complete scavenger hunts, engage in nature-based arts and crafts and so much more. 

The sessions are very flexible and child-led, participants are encouraged to follow their own interests and ideas, free play and exploration are a big part of the Forest School approach. 

Parent/carers stay and join in the fun too. Children with additional needs are welcome to attend any of our sessions, and we also have a monthly Saturday group—Nature Explorers—which is specifically for children with additional needs.

In addition we also have one space remaining on our fully funded 10 week SEND Forest School programme funded by Woodsmith Foundation: These sessions run on a Thursday at 4pm so you must be able to come along to Saltburn on this day and time to qualify, live in Redcar and Cleveland and have a child 7-15 years old.

To express your interest in your child/young person been involved in this project please contact us: woodswaves2022@gmail.com / 07533366410 

Additional needs celebration event

Join us on Sunday 19th May to celebrate our children and young people with additional needs. We will have activities inside and out for your children to enjoy including scavenger hunts, sand play, and nature based arts and crafts. 

There will be sandwiches, cakes and drinks provided for children and adults. This event will be a lovely opportunity to chat with other families, have fun with your child, and celebrate our children’s strengths and unique qualities.
