Friendly Fox Forest School Grianstad Camps for children aged 5–10 | Lees Road Park, Ennis | Winter 2026 (28th-30th Dec) 10am-2:00pm
Lees Road Park, Ennis Our camps 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, it's the ideal backdrop and handy for families right across Co. Clare too!
Why Friendly Fox Forest School?
A break from the everyday: Our camps give children a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and just have fun 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.
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. This gives children a chance to arrive, connect, and feel at home in their surroundings. From there, we jump into a game or two to shake off the morning nerves, get the energy flowing, and set the mood for the day ahead.
After working up an appetite, we stop for a quick snack before diving into a nature craft. Another game follows to keep the fun going, before children get to learn a brand new skill. Whether that's knot tying, foraging, tool use, or something else entirely.
Then comes everyone's favourite moment: lighting 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.
After that, it's time for free play! Children roam, explore, climb, and follow their curiosity wherever it leads. Those who fancy a quieter moment are always welcome to swing in the hammocks, observe nature, or simply wander. Nobody is ever pushed to participate, we follow the child's lead.
Participation is always encouraged but never forced, every child's pace is respected. 🦊
What to Bring: A packed lunch, plenty of water, a spare set of clothes, 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, and warm layers.
After Booking: A few days before camp 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: Camps are open to children aged 5–10, but if your child is ± 1 year and you think they’d be a good fit, they are very welcome to join!
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.
