🐦 WHAT TO EXPECT
Set in the heart of a magical woodland children will be immersed in activities like scavenging, messy mud play, creative art using a multitude of natural tools, fire building, cooking, all while being captivated by the sounds of birds and the steady waters flowing from the nearby streams.
