FOREST SCHOOL CAMPS - DO YOU DO IT?

Hi - my dds have been accepted on FSC for the first time this year - after 3 years on the waiting list. So part of me is going whooppeeeeeee. But the other part is going och no, because they have never been away from me for more than 5 days, and they have always either been with their dad, another relative, or a very close friend, and this is TWO weeks! Two weeks! without either me or another relative/close friend.I feel alternately neurotic and excited for them, and wonder if I am being sadistic or enabling by letting them go.

I'm posting to see if anyone else's dcs are FSC-ers, how the first time was, and if, specifically, anyone is doing South Cornwall 2 - and if so, who are you and how old are your kids? And am I crazy to be sending them on this? They are 11 and nearly 9. this is forest school camps in case you don't know it, it's like a hippyish brownie camp kind of. www.fsc.org.uk/programme/index.htm

Hi,
My aunt has quite a bit to do with FSC, and I have been a Guide and Brownie leader in the past, and taken children on camps/holidays.

You would be amazed at how well the children get on while they are on camp, how resourceful and independent they are... they love it!

You might get more responses to your post if you re-post it in the "Camping" section of MN.

Hope this helps
