Outdoor Learning & Adventure with South West Survival

At South West Survival, we’re proud to offer Forest School sessions in Plymouth—inspiring young minds through outdoor education, hands-on learning, and real-world bushcraft skills. Whether you're looking for a one-off forest school activity day or a long-term outdoor learning program, we work with local primary and secondary schools across Plymouth and surrounding areas to deliver unforgettable experiences in nature.

What is Forest School?

Forest School is a learner-led, nature-based approach to education that encourages children to explore, create, problem-solve, and connect with the natural world. It supports confidence, independence, resilience, and social development—all while having fun outdoors. Our Forest School sessions are led by experienced instructors with military and survival backgrounds, ensuring safe, structured, and exciting learning tailored to all age groups.
