In The Canopy C.I.C.

Outdoor play, campfire cooking and bushcraft for children. We run a variety of sessions including twice-weekly stay-and-play sessions for babies and young children, an after-school club and holiday sessions for school-aged children.

Thank you so much for booking onto a Summer Forest session with us! These are drop-off sessions (for children aged 5 and above) – there is no need to stay with your child. However, you are welcome to stay if you want to, or if your child would like you to! (Children under 5 years old will need an adult to stay). If your child has additional needs, or a 1-to-1 at school, please do contact us so we can discuss their needs. The sessions take place at Howden Junior School, Howden, DN14 7SL. There is a limited amount of car parking on the school site (but In The Canopy and Howden Junior School can’t take any responsibility for your vehicle or belongings when on the site). There is zoned time-limited street parking nearby and several council operated car parks in the town centre. The sessions take place entirely outside, whatever the weather, so it's really important to make sure you dress appropriately. Please bring several layers, and a warm coat and sturdy shoes if it’s wet, and a sun hat if it’s hot! Some activities involve mud, water and clay, so children should wear clothes that they can get messy in. As part of the session, children will help to prepare food, which will then be cooked on a fire and served up for lunch. Children are also welcome to bring their own food (but no nuts please) and will need a named, refillable water bottle. We understand that sometimes things change, so if you can't make your session for any reason, please use the booking system to cancel your place, or let us know. Also, if you have any questions, please do contact us (you can email <a href="mailto:inthecanopycic@hotmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">inthecanopycic@hotmail.com</a>, call Sal on 07870 246702 or Josie on 07907 925875). Looking forward to seeing you soon!&nbsp;Sal and JosieIn The Canopy C.I.C.

We are In The Canopy! Join us for an outdoor bushcraft session, where we provide a fun and engaging introduction to the outdoor environment. Through achievable tasks and activities, participants develop their range of physical, social and emotional skills, resulting in a positive impact on communication, motivation, health and wellbeing. Learn a new skill, challenge yourself, take managed risks, have an adventure! As part of the session, children will help to prepare food (often with a "wild" element), which will then be cooked on a fire and served up for lunch. Previously we've cooked spiced toffee apples with rose petal sprinkles, chilli and nachos with wild flower salsa, nettle gnocchi, wild pesto pasta, campfire pizza, nettle flatbreads, French toast with berries and wild flower topping, cricket toffee, and egg fried rice with wild garlic. We also provide sandwiches, fruit, popcorn and s'mores. Other activities include fire lighting, whittling, use of saws, axes and drills, hammocks, swings, den building, crafts and team building games. Children under the age of 5 will need a parent/carer to stay with them. Please let us know if your child requires 1-to-1 support in school or has SEND or and EHCP so we can discuss their needs with you. For anyone else, a parent/carer is welcome to stay if you want to! If your child is NOT eligible and you'd like to pay to attend these sessions, please use our non-HAF booking system: https://forms.office.com/r/61c4b9bCyB
