£5 – £22
home education - mindfulness in nature for kids

Our monthly group for Home Educating families. This month’s theme is Mindfulness in Nature For Kids.

Pathfinders offers monthly sessions offer quality outdoor education workshops and Forest School sessions for children aged 2 – 16 years. Our aim is to create a space where home educating families can socialise whilst their kids have the opportunity to learn at their own pace, in their own way, with both high quality tutoring and child-led activities available. All this is set against the beautiful backdrop of the Hawarden Estate, which also provides us with a fantastic natural resource to base our sessions in, providing learners with direct, hands-on experience.

“Lea and James are really down to earth and inspiring people, great with the children and very knowledgeable. We always enjoy the sessions and can’t wait to be back after half term.” Leah Pugh (parent)

Activities range from practical bushcraft skills to ecology to handicrafts, as well as child-led play for little ones. Following feedback from Home Ed families this format appeals both to parents who want a child-led session and those who want a structured, alternative curriculum for their kids from a tutor in an outdoor setting.
