Remember Summer Camp? Here's a video for those of you who missed it. Well we're back for five days this Autumn at out new site in West Reading!
Our kids holiday camp 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 site is all setup with equipment for forest school craft, fireside cooking and muddy play. We have our own tools and fire area all ready to go, a pergola and shelter, a kitchen area, new indoor flushing toilet and a summer house for rain showers. In cases of high winds lightning, we now also have our own indoor school hall, just incase!
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.

We can't wait to see you there! Limited tickets up now on our website,
