Last weekend we were invited along to an event run by A Touch of the Wild. They are a forest school company in Devon. Both of our kiddies used to go to forest school twice a week before they started school, I think they both miss it. They always used to come home covered head to toe in mud proudly clutching their latest woodland inspired artwork.
The A Touch of the Wild Camp
A Touch of the Wild have recently relocated to a new site not far from Exeter, they used to be based at Haldon Forest. The new site is at Grammar Coombe Woods in the Ashcombe Estate.
They are available for children’s parties, school & college visits, team building, adult & family events, toddler groups and Summer holiday clubs.
Wild In the Woods
The kiddies had great fun exploring the new site. We roasted chestnuts, pumpkins seeds and marshmallows on the fire. They checked out the badger’s den and went wild on the play park.
Play Park in the Woods
I thought the homemade play park was fantastic! They had swings made out of boat fenders, a trampoline made from netting and hammocks. There was also a mud kitchen and a composting toilet which my daughter couldn’t quite get her head around and worried that she would fall through the hole.
We had a really lovely afternoon at the Touch of the Wild event and it made me realise how much my kiddies miss their forest school.
Looks like a great idea for a children’s party, can’t beat running around in the fresh air and learning some new skills.
How cute is your daughter, love her tee shirt.
Hello Karen, thanks for your comment, we run fantastic woodland parties. See you in the woods soon!
I think it’s a brillant idea for a kiddies party. I could probably get away with my daughters birthday as it’s in the Autumn but my son’s is in the middle of Winter. Might be a bit nippy for them all. Thanks for stopping by Karen 🙂
Wow, your photography!! What a beautiful place to go with the little ones, a team building event would be great fun…. Forget the children actually, I want to build a den and frolic in my wellies
Thanks Emily! It was a fun day, Maybe we should arrange a Devon bloggers team building day 😉
Yes, please do come and do a bloggers team building day with us ;)! It’s something we are looking to publicise more now, as Grammarcombe Woods is perfect for team building events. Perhaps we could discuss it – drop us an email if you are interested at info@atouchofthewild.co.uk
Thanks for coming to our Launch Party Gina, we had a great time and are glad to hear you all did too. Lovely photos! Could we use some for our website please? Now that your two are at school, they are welcome to come to our Woodland Adventure Club during school holidays (Easter – October) and spend all day messing around in the woods with us.
See you here again soon 🙂
Thank you for inviting us!
Yes please do use my photos, I have a few more I’ll email them over to you.
The Woodland adventure club sounds right up their street 🙂
I love the idea of a Forest school I think my son would really enjoy it x
I didn’t discover this until my daughter was just starting school and she would have loved it. I would definitely consider booking for a birthday party though 🙂
