What we do
Woodland Adventure Club is an outdoors holiday club set in beautiful woodland at Grammarcombe Woods, Ashcombe Estate, near Exeter.
With guidance from our expert outdoors staff, youngsters learn bushcraft skills like fire lighting and green woodwork, discover new things in nature, enjoy the bugs, animal tracks and wild places and more. With a maximum of 15 children each day, they will gain new skills, increase in confidence and self esteem and develop a greater connection to the natural world. Our experienced Forest School Leaders make sure that every youngster at Woodland Adventure Club enjoys a unique woodland experience. Woodland Adventure Club is suitable for ages 5 to 12/13 yrs (must have turned 5 by the September before joining us – school Year 1 age).
Wild Activities
There’s so much to do, we can’t list it all – but this gives you an idea of the fun in store.

Children with additional needs
If your child has any additional needs please contact us before booking. If your child or a child in your group has a learning/support mentor at school or 1:1 provision we require you to provide a similar mentor to support your child during the A Touch of the Wild programme. The mentor must be a qualified person with credentials which can be checked. This person must have a DBS certificate. If A Touch of the Wild staff are not informed of your child’s special needs during the booking process and they arrive to the session without a support mentor, you will be contacted and asked to provide a support mentor. If you are unable to do so, you will be required to collect your child from the A Touch of the Wild programme. This condition is in place to keep your child safe and secure in an outdoor learning environment.

The club runs in all school holidays and half terms. Please click on ‘check availability’ and follow the booking link for more information.
And very safe!
The group will be safely supervised in all these activities by our trained and experienced staff, who will lead them on exciting adventures into the magical woods. All staff are qualified group leaders, first aid trained and DBS checked.
