CONNECT WITH NATURE, AT YOUR PACE
Learn new skills, connect with other people and root yourself in nature in our calming woodland camps. Our programmes are tailored to each person, so you can discover yourself and the natural world at a pace that works for you. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelm, are feeling isolated from other people or need a safe space to recover, our woodland camps are here to enable you to do just that.
Learn new skills for life
If you feel your young person, or the young person you support, needs something different to engage them, we can create an educational programme that meets their needs and aspirations. We truly treat each person as an individual and tailor their learning to support to them. We keep our groups small and our approach flexible so that anyone can feel the benefits of our naturally inspired education. By introducing young people to new skills, qualifications and learning within the natural world, they can flourish at their own pace.

WHAT TO WEAR
Dress for the weather! Whether it’s warm or rainy, we advise people to wear clothes that will keep them calm, comfortable and dry. We provide helpful information on clothes ahead of the first day at camp. We can also provide some kit for you, such as wellies. All of this will be covered ahead of the first day at camp.
WHAT’S FOR LUNCH?
We encourage everyone to get involved with cooking a campfire lunch each day and we have a range of delicious meals to help keep things healthy. We can cater to all dietary requirements and we’ll be sure to understand this ahead of time.
