A Breath of Fresh Air
Summer Camp 2024 bookings now open (camps page of our website/ icon below)
Work experience opportunities now available at The Forest Club
Our goal at The Forest Club is to reconnect children with nature. Children get to learn about nature through fun hands-on activities and experiences. Our birthday parties, after-school clubs, forest school sessions and kid’s camps are a great way for children to learn new skills, gain an appreciation for the great outdoors and are lots of fun!

Our Forest
We have the use of a beautiful private woodland located within the grounds of Belmont Demesne which is located 5-10 minutes from Bray, Greystones the N11 and within easy reach of the suburbs of South Dublin. Our base camp is also conveniently located within an easy 5-10 minute walk from the nearest local public transport - bus stop number 4301 and 4211 on the R761.
