We create a relaxed friendly camp where everyone shares in the running of the camp and creates a woodland community for a long weekend. It’s important to us that not only is your stay about learning valuable earth living skills but its fun, safe and profoundly satisfying.
During the weekend you will also experience many Nature Awareness activities that enhance our senses and open us to see what the natural world has to offer and assist us to feel more at home in the wilderness. Nature is so often our greatest teacher.
