Children's Programs

At Birdwings Forest School, children experience nature through play, adventure, creativity and connection.
Our award-winning programs are aligned with Australian Forest School Association Guiding Principles and best practice by the Australian Adventure Activity Standards.

We support confidence, resilience, wellbeing and ecological belonging through meaningful experiences outdoors in all seasons.
All programs are guided by experienced mentors with backgrounds in education, forest school, nature playwork and therapeutic practice.
