Welcome to The Forest School
We are on a mission to bring kids closer to nature. We aim to achieve our mission by offering different types of programs and activities, such as: a forest-based afterschool program and forest-based holiday camps! Summer or winter, rain or shine - kids at The Forest School are free to explore, build, climb and grow. We believe in the principles of discovery learning, free play, and getting your hands dirty. We believe that the forest offers the perfect environment for curious adventures as well as a haven to calm a child's nervous system.
Hoi! Hi! We all speak Dutch and English!
The Forest School Programs
Afterschool Forest Program
Seasonal 10 week outdoor afterschool programs where kids experience the wonders of nature. We pick up the kids from school and head straight into the Forest. Kids will spend all day immersed in the great outdoors and are free to play and discover under guidance of our experienced Forest Guides. We end everyday around the campfire at our Forest House.
Holiday Forest Camp
Seasonal outdoor camps during the school holidays. During this week we combine fun play in the forest with interactive workshops and sessions led by our nature experts. We end everyday around the campfire at our Forest House.
