three hares woodland

We’re taking part in Visit Scotland’s Year of Stories and will be running an 8-day storytelling programme for 8 – 13 year olds from April to October at Three Hares Community Woodland, titled ‘Rekindling the Ceilidh’.

Following on from the success of our Story Camp in 2021, this programme will give the opportunity for older children to enjoy creative outdoor time in a welcoming environment, to hear stories and create some of their own. Fireside storytelling will be mixed with exploration, games and creative activities. The focus will be on wellbeing, nature connection and fun.

The camp will be facilitated by professional storyteller Dougie Mackay and outdoor facilitator Elly Kinross. Participants will also have the opportunity to perform at a serires of public storytelling and craft events at The Three Hares over the summer months.

Places are limited and booking is essential. Cost is £10/session. If cost of attending is a barrier or you require to pay per session rather than upfront, please get in touch at 3hareswoodland.funding@gmail.com.
