BushKraft Forest School CIC (Community Interest Company) is a NON profit organisation working with people of all ages and abilities. We also work with and in partnership with other organisations including schools, social care and charities. A CIC is usually formed from people with a passion to want to try and alleviate problems that have identified in there local area or area of expertise. BushKraft is no different and wants to tackle the social issues, build confidence in everyone and improve peoples opportunities and situations. One of our skills is keeping families together and promoting well being, positive communication, positiveness and bonding as a unit rather than individuals. Most companies are formed to make money for the directors and share holders. A CIC is formed to help the community around its existence. When you pay a Community Interest Company you are helping others by us putting our profits back into the community. A CIC has to do this like a charity and is regulated with rules from the government and HMRC. Traditional forest school is not by far a new concept. Outdoor leaning and its benefits have been around since 19th century. One of many outdoor educators was Baden Powel who in 1907 formed the scouting organisation which has grown massively into what it is today. Traditional forest school is child led. This does not mean we just let them run wild and boss us around, but we do not set a specific curriculum. We facilitate their learning at a speed and style that suits the individual. Our high ratio's of adult to child allows children to learn and explore the woodland and nature around them. Our mission is to get children outside into nature enjoying themselves, playing with other children. Over the years technology is so advanced, (games consoles get "virtual" reality and mobile phones are really mini computers.) Children are spending less time outdoors especially in the winter months. Although we are not against technology we strongly believe in a child's right to play, explore, take risks, and be part of the natural world around them. Forest school is based more on the process of learning than it is on the content. This means instead of planning each session to the nearest minute, children can go off as things take their interest. More often than not as Forest leaders our planned sessions end up completely unplanned as the children explore nature.

the field kitchen at fallow fields

Kent

Selson Farm sits in a gentle valley on the eastern edge of the North Downs in Kent. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful apple, pear and cherry orchards, with plenty of asparagus fields nearby too. The camping field itself is a good four-acres, completely flat and lined with trees for shade and shelter. David is an ex-army Major and runs the farm. It was bought by his grandfather in the 1920s, who became a renowned English fruit grower. With a spread of crops, there’s always something being harvested in most of the summer. In May, you can pick fresh asparagus and there’s early apples in August. All of the produce is sold locally, either at the farm gate or in farm shops and greengrocers. Our apples and pears also end up in the big supermarkets. Lathe Barn is our newer campsite offering. It boasts over 10 acres of sprawling grounds, situated only two miles inland from the stunning Dymchurch seafront. It also benefits from incredible views of the surrounding hills and you can even see Lympne Castle too. It’s an absolutely wonderful spot to stay with the family, with plenty of activities happening on the grounds and loads of things to do nearby.
