Wild Spring Camp

Wild wellbeing, fires, crafts , cooking and muddy play for 5-11's this Spring

-

Remember Summer Camp? Here's a video for those of you who missed it. Well we're back for four days this Spring - Tuesday 2nd-Friday 5th April at the Wild Woods at Westwood Farm.

Our kids holiday camp for ages 5-12 is perfect for wild kids who need to run off some steam and get muddy in the freedom of our secure woods. If this sounds like it would suit your kids, send them to us - this is our bread and butter!

Our private, secure woodland in Westwood Farm School in Tilehurst, Reading is all setup with equipment for tree climbing, swinging and mud play. We have our own tools, fire area all ready to go, an A frame shelter, a kitchen area, toilet and a summer house for rain showers.

We will be crafting, playing, swinging and cooking around the camp fire. Our wonderful summer house which was gifted by the Mercers Company will have the wood-burning stove lit, and we'll be making dens, getting arty and muddy all over again, but this time with a Spring theme.

We create a safe, secure space for kids to explore risky play with trained professionals, giving them all the support they need, when they need it, while giving them the space to learn, develop and gain confidence. It is the perfect balance of risky space with a supportive loving structure behind them. This gives them an opportunity to stretch themselves and build confidence, resilience, have fun and feel good whilst getting exhausted and muddy in the fresh air. Kind of like a 1970's summer, but with insurance and subtle risk management that your kids don't see and trained professionals too!

We blend Forest School, free play and messy play with open arts and crafts, group games, stories (optional), cooking on the fire, bushcraft skills and meditative reflections. Our camps are run by a group of qualified and experienced teachers, Forest School Leaders, artists and youth and childrens workers working together as a team to offer a rich variety of activities. For FAQ's and heaps more info, take a look at our website.
