OTHER ADVENTURES – Sligo Woodland School

Other Adventures
At Sligo Woodland School, every season brings new opportunities to explore, learn, and play in nature. Our Other Adventures category includes a variety of unique one-off events, family days, seasonal gatherings, and creative workshops that don’t fit into our regular camp or school programs — but are just as magical.

From forest feasts to storytelling walks, dusk lantern trails to foraging journeys, these special sessions are designed to celebrate the wild, foster connection, and spark curiosity in all ages.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to the woods with friends, these adventures offer something new every time — come see what’s waiting beyond the trees!

Woods 2 Water

Woods 2 Water

Woods 2 Water, our water collaboration is back, bringing together a wonderful
range of outdoor learning experiences from land to water for young people.
The first part of each session will be in the SWS woods were children will make:
fires and cooking; nautical rope work.; rafts and ladders; and enjoy lots of free play.

The second part of the sessions will be in the Back Avenue at the Garvogue River. All equipment will be provided including wetsuits, watercraft and snorkeling gear.

Any water activity in Sligo requires a warm wetsuit whether in the ocean or local lakes. This is particularly true up to July when the temperatures are still low. This means the young ones feel safe and can enjoying themselves. It is also an extra layer of protection to minimise the risk of scrapes and bumps.

Therefore, it is really helpful to know if the participants have their own wetsuits. It needs to be a full length wetsuit, ideally 5mm which is pretty standard for Ireland.

Could you please let us know if you have a wetsuit for your child when booking them in.

All children attending the sessions will be given numerous opportunities to
explore both spaces of woods and water.
