For inquiry

Our annual forest school program is back again this year! We will be holding a total of four sessions, each with its own theme. Participants will stay at a facility with artworks with accommodation—a repurposed former school—where they can enjoy viewing the artwork and participating in nature-based activities. Other highlights of the program include local cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and interactions with the local community. We look forward to your participation. (Details and registration information will be updated as they become available.)
