Parking spaces are available in the organic grounds or if full up at the regional sports centre *absolutely no parking, even for just a drop off, is allowed on main road beside OR on the small road leading into organic gardens as this is a private lane*

Bring your own water proofs (water proof trousers are available if required for ages 3-8) and do come geared up for all weathers as we will be there no matter come rain or shine! Kit List Included in Application Form.
Sligo Woodland Easter Camp will nurture children’s connection with the natural world and offer unique opportunities for children to be creative, explore, experiment, run wild and get mucky in the woodland.
They will investigate the wonders of nature in the forest, potting and planting in our poly tunnel, and develop a range of new skills while making new friends… On the last day we will have an Easter Egg Treasure Hunt

Polices for your consideration before booking: Our policy for camps with children under 6 is that every parent has the option to stay if they think their child would prefer it. 5/6 year old’s that are in primary school and are used to being left can be dropped off and collected, younger ones aged 3 and under must be accompanied by a parent.Preference is given to those who want to book for the 3 day full camp, if you want to book 1 or 2 days I will have to check numbers the week before and get back to you.As the Forest School is an outdoor ‘classroom’ wind can be a dangerous element due to potential falling branches. Our Weather Policy states: ‘if strong winds (measuring over 5 on the Beaufort scale or above 30-38 kph) or thunder and lightening, the session will not take place in the woodland other options will be considered’. During high winds at the Easter children will be taken to the poly tunnel area’s.Below are the Application Form, Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy. Prepayment is preferred; I will forward my online booking details shortly.
