🌙 Wednesday Evenings for Teens – A Space to Be Themselves
Our Wednesday evening sessions are designed for teenage friendship groups to meet, relax, and enjoy time together in a safe, outdoor setting.
From 6pm to 8pm, they’ll have access to a private woodland space where they can chat around the fire, explore, cook, or just hang out—without feeling watched or overly managed.
While our team is always nearby to ensure safety and offer support if needed, we step back to give teens the independence and privacy they deserve. It’s a chance to connect, unwind, and enjoy the freedom of being outdoors—with just the right balance of trust and care.
And for those keen to learn, we’re more than happy to guide specific skills upon request—whether it’s fire-lighting, tool use, shelter-building, or nature-based crafts. It’s not about being left to their own devices; it’s about choice, confidence, and growing through experience.
We're happy to discuss teaching teens practical skills. Which we will provide this at no extra cost.

🛡️ A Note for Parents & Carers
We know how important it is for teens to have space to grow, connect, and just be themselves. These sessions are lightly supervised by experienced Forest School leaders who stay nearby—close enough to ensure safety, far enough to respect privacy. We follow clear boundaries around fire use, respectful behaviour, and safeguarding, and we’re always available if support is needed.
This is a space built on trust, care, and community—where teens can feel safe, seen, and free.
🌿 Teen Session Pricing
We want every teen to have access to nature, fire, and freedom—without cost being a barrier. That’s why we’ve kept our pricing as low as possible, with help from other Leafy Legend revenue streams.
