Delivered as part of the 2021 Holiday Activity Fund

We have had around 120 children attend Forest Camp over the 5 weeks and this includes 18 that were fully funded by BoltonCVS for the
As part of this we felt it was really important to also offer these sessions without the worry of getting to us. Seddon Homes amazingly funded for transportation to enable 13 children from BoltonSt CathrinesAcedemy to join us in the woods!
The funded children attended for the 4 days for the 4 weeks in August…and that in itself deserves a medal!
We have experienced rain, rain, thunderstorms, rain and SUNSHINE!
From mud monsters, to Fox spotters, to Roman Villagers, to river shrimp collectors, to Olympians, to artists, to feather collectors, to movie makers, to treasure hunters, to pirates, to den builders, to man hunters, to fire starters, to herb garden growers, to woodland protectors, mushroom spotters, to campfire chefs, to hammock swingers to even ….Mount Everest Mountaineers and that’s just a small selection!
