Wild Learning

Freelance Site Leaders & Assistants

We run holiday clubs and deliver Forest School and outdoor learning programmes for schools and nurseries in woods across London and the South East, and we are recruiting for freelancers to work with us in our holiday clubs this year. Our Holiday clubs are for children from school Year 1 – 12+

We believe that children should spend more time outdoors having fun, without adults constantly telling them what to do. We think they should be able to roam, explore, take risks, make friends, learn to negotiate, use their imaginations, run, climb, fall over, get up, get tired and get filthy, in a safe and supportive environment.

We spend our time trying to make that happen.
