Make lifelong memories with your family at The elbowroom escape, Co Wicklow this summer at our very special ‘escape’. We are offering space to unwind, eat good wholesome meals and get back to nature.
Children will take part in Forest School during the daytime – leaving you time to rest, relax and recharge your batteries. You can simply do nothing and put your feet up or take part in guided hikes, infuse your holiday with yoga, or even enjoy a hot-tub.
Our Forest School is run by the very experienced team at Earth Force Education who not only teach youngsters about nature awareness but also help build confidence, inspire outdoor pursuits and all while creating an atmosphere of fun. Included in the Forest Camp outdoor games and crafts, bushcraft skills like shelter building and fire making.
The dinner table becomes a place to reunite, enjoy food and share stories about the day’s events before turning in for a night of peaceful sleep.
Family bliss, now that’s a holiday escape.
