Rathmines Forest School
Rathmines Forest School offers outdoor, nature-based sessions for children aged 5 to 12 at its base on Rathmines Road Upper. Weekly after-school sessions run in term time, giving kids a chance to unplug and spend time outdoors after the school day. The school also runs holiday camps during school breaks, all set within a walled woodland garden that gives children space to explore, build and play away from screens. Forest school activities typically build confidence, resilience and a feel for the natural world through den-building, fire lighting, tool use and free play.

Spraoi Forest School - Bushy Park
Spraoi Forest School runs a forest-school programme at St Pius Forest School in Bushy Park, Templeogue, Dublin 6W, covering a broad age range from under 4 up to 12 and older. Forest school sessions use the outdoor woodland setting for nature-based, hands-on learning and play, an alternative to indoor structured classes. The programme primarily operates with schools, so parents interested in community or family sessions should contact Spraoi directly to check current availability, since it isn't a standard drop-in or booked class like most other kids' activities.
