23 Raring2go! In the heart of West Sussex, nestled in private woodlands of Angmering, a unique partnership is redefining the way we connect with nature. Sussex Forest Activities, co-founded by Sam Cross and Elliott Crook, is a Forest School and Woodland Activity provider dedicated to offering outdoor experiences that engage, inspire, and empower both children and adults alike. From pre-schoolers to home-educated children and those unable to attend school full-time, Sussex Forest Activities creates a safe and nurturing environment where young people can explore the great outdoors and discover the wonders of the natural world.With a wide range of activities, including bushcraft, outdoor cooking, den building, tree swing making, and climbing, the focus is on fun, exploration, and personal growth. As Sam Cross, one of the co-founders, puts it,“Everything is invitational.We don’t make the children do anything they don’t want to. So, usually, the children just love to free play, building dens, bug hunting, and playing.The children go home with big smiles on their faces and mud on their clothes.” It’s this freedom to explore that makes Sussex Forest Activities stand out from traditional educational and holiday club experiences. By allowing children the freedom to engage with nature on their own terms, the program fosters creativity, independence, and a deep sense of joy and connection to the outdoors. Sussex Forest Activities is not just about children – Sam and Elliott are passionate about connecting people of all ages to nature.“So many people face barriers when it comes to getting outside, and we are determined to find ways to help them,” says Elliott Crook.Whether it’s through their sessions for local charities, groups, schools, or individuals, the duo is committed to breaking down those barriers and ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative power of nature. Their events aren’t just educational; they’re designed to be inclusive and accessible, welcoming people from all walks of life to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and reconnect with the environment. Whether it's through learning new skills, working together as a team, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings, the impact of these activities extends far beyond the woodland. Sam and Elliott’s mission is clear: to provide opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace the outdoors, develop new skills, and, most importantly, have fun. As more people are drawn to the benefits of nature-based learning, Sussex Forest Activities is growing as a beacon of community connection and environmental stewardship. In a world where technology often keeps us indoors and disconnected from nature, Sussex Forest Activities is proving that sometimes the best way to learn and grow is by simply stepping outside. Connecting People with Nature: The Story of Sussex Forest Activities Get close to nature and adventure!
