Holiday Clubs

Our forest school leaders and play leaders are committed to delivering exceptional holiday club experiences for your children.

Overview

Based in beautiful native woodlands owned and maintained by The National Trust, on the southern side of Bath, we invite a maximum of 24 young people aged 8-16 to spend a day in the woods creating memorable moments, playing, enjoying nature and learning practical bushcraft skills.


Ninja Squirrels holiday clubs are hosted by two experienced forest school leaders and one play leader creating the perfect balance of woodland play and skills. 


Ninja Squirrels holiday clubs take place from 9am to 5pm, from Tuesday to Thursday, during the Easter holidays, June half term week and the Summer holidays.


Our site has a lovely compost toilet and large waterproof awning over the fire area. We also provide a large event shelter and plenty of tarpaulins so rain doesn’t ever stop play.
