About this program
Kerkus Forest School offers children hands-on learning experiences in natural environments, focusing on building confidence and self-esteem. The school operates in two locations in Dublin: Deerpark, Mount Merrion—an expansive public park known for its ancient trees—and The Grove, Donnybrook—a secluded, wildlife-rich woodland managed by An Taisce. Kerkus Forest School is accredited by the Irish Forest School Association (IFSA), ensuring quality and safety standards in their programming. Families can book sessions at either location through their online platform.
