Summer Chidren's Courses in Epping Forest

Epping Forest Field Centre

Courses from Tuesday 3rd till Tuesday 24th August

The activities are split into three ages groups - Eco Tots 18m – 4ys, Eco Explorers 5 - 7yrs and Eco Champions 7yrs+

FSC want to inspire people to be curious, caring and passionate about our environment. Our family activities are designed to do just that. Led by FSC staff, they are based outdoors, and explore the natural world. The sessions are a mix of games and activities that will inspire you to find out more and discover how you can help wildlife on your doorstep. To take part you do not need any experience or any expensive kit, just an enthusiasm for being outside and discovering nature.
