At Lakeside Team Quest, we provide a range of engaging outdoor activities for schools designed to complement the Department for Education’s (DfE) sustainability and green initiatives. Whether students join us at Ellerton Park, or we come to your school or other venues, our programs focus on fostering a deeper connection with nature, learning essential skills, and promoting environmental stewardship in line with DfE’s vision for the future.
Our activities align with the DfE’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, emphasizing the importance of nature education, carbon footprint reduction, and preparing students for future green careers.
Our bushcraft sessions teach essential survival skills, such as fire lighting, shelter building, and outdoor cooking, in a fun and engaging way. These activities help children develop problem-solving, resilience, and teamwork while promoting mindfulness and respect for the environment. By learning to use natural resources wisely, students gain an understanding of sustainability in practice, reflecting the DfE’s goal of fostering climate awareness and nature education from an early age. These hands-on experiences not only boost personal development but also highlight the importance of living harmoniously with nature.
Our forestry sessions provide students with an opportunity to explore the rich biodiversity of forests while learning about sustainable forest management. By teaching children about tree planting, wildlife conservation, and the role forests play in reducing carbon emissions, we reinforce the DfE’s mission to create a generation of environmentally aware citizens. Through our Eco Kids club activities children and young people will explore our ecosystems gaining an awareness and understanding of how forests help combat climate change, students can grasp the broader context of sustainability, contributing to the reduction of their schools’ carbon footprints and preparing them for future green initiatives.
