Join us for exciting adventures in May and June. For 2024, we have specially designed 3 types of holiday events for campers:
For those who would like more structure while learning a wide range of outdoor survival skills, you can now select Wildcraft Adventure which is a full day of video game inspired activities for kids aged 6 years onwards. This is only available at 1 location - Lower Peirce. Due to its game theme, there will be props and game guidelines. Please click on the link for more details about Wildcraft Adventure.
We've heavily discounted Wildcraft Adventure for June in hopes of welcoming a larger group of campers. We'd greatly appreciate your support in spreading the word and inviting more friends to form teams and join in the fun!
For those who prefer our usual therapeutic Forest School sessions as an approved practitioner of The Therapeutic Forest Network, where we carefully support the campers as they lead their own adventures and connect with nature, you can select from locations such as Lower Peirce, Clementi Forest, Tampines Eco Green and Lazarus Island (this will be released at a later date, we are planning to include the whole family)!
For Lower Peirce, you also have a choice of timing and duration. Half day camps are from 9.15am-12.15pm, or 12.25-3.34pm. Full day camps are from 9.15am to 3.45pm (6.5 hours in total).
Nature-related Skills and Crafts Workshops are also available (NatureCraft, Arty Afternoons, Whittling for Wellness, Survival Skills Level 1) each lasting 2-4 hours
To maximise the benefits and deepen campers’ learning and connection with nature, we recommend booking at least a two-day camp. Simply select your preferred dates to join (to add participants, please click on quantity; to add dates, simply click “add a time”).
All meeting points are accessible by public transport (bus / taxi / mrt).
Our camps have been designed with the following inclusions:
flexible date rescheduling within reasonable notice period of no less than 48 hours before the camp, subject to availability.
all camps are inclusive. We welcome every child, neuro-diverse or neuro-typical.
For full day camps (6 hours or more), lunch will be provided for the campers (feel free to indicate food preferences/allergies).
All tools provided
Specially chartered ferry for Lazarus Island
public liability insurance. We highly recommend that families purchase their own insurance for any unforeseen accidents and/or injuries. We are not able to give any refunds for family emergencies or change of plans.

Our Forest School Camp Adventure Guarantee:
We take pride in our consistently high satisfaction rate, which has remained between 99-100% for all our camps since 2018. However, if for any reason you are not satisfied with your camp experience, please let us know, and we'll work with you to address any concerns or issues.
We believe in providing personalized attention to every child, and that's why we maintain a low coach-to-learner ratio. Our coaches are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where your child can learn and grow at their own pace. They will work with your child to create emergent projects that align with their interests and passions while also offering activities that are suitable for their age and skill level.
Forest School coaches will consider each learner's profile and needs and follow their lead in activities, promoting greater transformations, motivation, resilience, and connection with nature.
Pre and post event experience:
Booking multiple events
Please note that booking for unique events must be done separately, rather than adding them to a cart. Additionally, any applicable discounts will need to be manually applied once more. Adding days to the same event is simple: when you select the first timing (or hover the cursor if you're using a desktop), just click on "select and add another time.
Alternative payment mode available: PayNow
We kindly request your understanding that there may be occasions when dates need to be adjusted. This could occur if we do not meet the minimum number of campers required (typically, we require a very low number, around 4. For Wildcraft Adventure and Arty Afternoons, 6 is the minimum number required). Feel free to utilize PayNow as a payment mode, for a complete refund in case of a camp rescheduling.
If you've used a credit card for payment, please understand that in rare cases of refunds, the refunded amount will be net of credit card financial charges.
To opt for PayNow, use Coupon Code 'PAYNOW' during registration. You can proceed to submit your form without any charges at this stage. However, please note that your registration is not complete yet.
Within 24 hours, please scan the PayNow QR code below using your bank's app to finalize your registration. Kindly include your child's name in the reference field.
We kindly ask that prompt payment accompanies registrations. Regrettably, registrations submitted without payment will not be processed, and your ticket will not be valid.
Communication channel for Forest School Camps
We have found out that majority of our parents prefer to use WhatsApp Group Chat. To streamline communication with our dedicated coaches, with your consent, we will add you to a WhatsApp group chat, the day before the camp begins. If you have a preference for an alternative platform such as Telegram, or not to be added, no problem, please feel free to let us know during registration! We can message you privately.
Post-forest school camp photos and more!
After the close of each camp day, we'll provide you with photos and/or videos capturing the day's moments, along with a thoughtful summary crafted by our coaches, detailing the campers' enriching experiences. In addition, campers will have access to an e-journal, offering a convenient and virtual space for them to reflect on and encapsulate the essence of each day's adventures!
Please refer to the FAQ and parents’ Testimonials. Feel free to email us if you have any questions. We can't wait to have your child join us in the great outdoors! You'll find all the information you need to secure your spot in the booking forms above.
Important Notes
Rain or Shine Adventures with Us
Our forest school programs are designed to embrace all weather conditions and experiencing the full spectrum of nature’s wonders, whether it's a sunny day or a rainy one. In case of lightning storms, we will promptly find shelter to ensure safety. Many children love it when it rains!
Punctuality for Lazarus Island Ferry
We kindly request all families to note that the ferry will leave on time. If you are late, and miss the ferry, we seek your understanding that no refunds will be made. Please also be informed that the return time is an estimate as it depends on factors like weather at sea.
Special cases - financial and special needs
We strive to provide inclusive programs. If your child has moderate to severe special needs and/or you believe that your child may require more individual attention, please contact us at naturedensingapore@gmail.com before booking so that we can provide you with additional support to ensure your child's needs are met. Also, please join our mailing list so that we may be able to assign a slot for you before we release bookings to the general public.
If your child has a Blue Chas Card, we welcome you to send a copy of the card to naturedensingapore@gmail.com for a special 50% coupon code for forest school camps.

What Our Young Campers Say
“I like the sounds of nature, all so different and interesting! It made me feel happy. (I learnt) that it is ok to fall as we can pick ourselves up. When is my next forest school?”
— Esther, 5
“(I learnt) that we must protect the forest because it is part of our world. Nature and man can help each other. I like that we went to a different part of Clementi Forest, I did not (know that) it is so huge. I cannot wait to go for my next Forest School!”
— Ruth, 8
“It makes me feel happy to be in the forest. Everything in the forest makes me happy. I liked everything. I want to share the experience in the tunnel to my friends.”
— Chloe, 5
“I think the most important lesson (from the camp) is the beauty of life, because if there is no life, i would not see all the interesting things in the forest. My shoes became very wet and I was definitely connected to the mud. It was a reminder of how indigenous forest people might live without shoes.”
— Tyler
