Meet the Leader

This year's camps will be led by Abby (Mrs Simpson), a Level 3 qualified Forest School instructor who is passionate about teaching children the importance of outdoor learning and collaborating.

Abby has taught young people for over twenty years and looks forward to welcoming eager explorers to the Forest School at Austin Friars this summer.

Both Forest School camps will also be supported by an assistant and senior helpers.
