Wednesdays 3:30pm-5:30pm at Lees Road Park, Ennis. Co. Clare for children aged 4-10 years old
Friendly Fox Forest School After-Shool 🌿 For children aged 4–10 | Lees Road Park, Ennis | After-school 🌿
At Friendly Fox Forest School, we give children the freedom to explore, create, and discover the magic of the natural world — right here in the heart of Ennis.
🌲 Lees Road Park, Ennis Our sessions are set in the beautiful surroundings of Lees Road Park — a green oasis in Ennis where children can roam, imagine, and adventure freely. With open spaces, mature trees, and a rich natural environment.
Why Friendly Fox Forest School?
A break from the everyday: Our sessions give children a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and just be kids in nature.
Grow in confidence: There's something powerful about mastering a new skill outdoors — whether it's lighting a campfire, identifying a wild plant, or navigating a den build. Children surprise themselves every single day.
Small group, big experience: With a maximum of just 15 children per session, every child is seen, supported, and celebrated. No one gets lost in the crowd here.
Real skills, real fun: From foraging and fire craft to bug hunting and storytelling under the trees — our activities are hands-on, meaningful, and fun!
What Does a Day at Friendly Fox Forest School Look Like? Every day has its own natural rhythm, and no two days are ever quite the same — but here's a taste of what to expect!
We begin by walking together into the woods, settling in, and gathering for circle time — a chance for everyone to arrive, connect, and feel at home in their surroundings. From there, we jump into a game or two to get the energy flowing.
After working up an appetite, we stop for our snack before diving into a nature craft or learning a new skill. Then there’s time for free play!
During the colder months we light the fire. Children learn about fire safety and get to try their hand at cooking something over the flames, before sitting together to enjoy what they've made. There's something really special about sharing food outdoors.
Participation is always encouraged but never forced — every child's pace is respected. 🦊
What to Bring: A packed snack, plenty of water and waterproofs — Please label everything with your child's name.
What to Wear: Clothes you don't mind getting dirty! Wellies or sturdy outdoor shoes, layers, and sun cream on the sunny days. Choose long trousers over shorts. If in doubt, dress for rain and hope for sunshine ☀️
After Booking: A few days before the sessions begin you'll receive a detailed confirmation email with all the information you need — drop-off and pick-up times, what to pack, site details, and more. Keep an eye on your inbox and make sure you check the SPAM folder too!
A Few Important Things
Ages: Sessions are open to children aged 4–10.
Group size: We cap every session at 15 children to keep things personal, safe, and special.
Inclusion: We warmly welcome children of all abilities and backgrounds. If your child has additional needs or you'd like to chat before booking, please get in touch — we're happy to talk it through.
Toilets: A compost toilet is available on site. Children should be comfortable managing their own clothing and wet gear independently.
