The Wilderness Company
Outdoor Activities in Teesdale & the North East

Delivering outdoor activity experiences to schools, groups and individuals across the North, from Paddle Boarding in Yorkshire to Climbing in Newcastle and our incredible glamping residential trips for schools in the Durham Dales.

We are a family run outdoor activity company based in the Durham Dales, near Barnard Castle, we work with a range of groups to create memorable and adventurous experiences. Our focus has always been quality over quantity and with that ethos we see our wonderful customers returning year after year. For schools in particular we offer something very special with our residential Wilderness Camps, it's what we are immensely proud of and it's no surprise that schools return year on year.

Residential Glamping Camp

Our residential Glamping camp is our pride and joy, allowing us to provide children from across the region with outstanding outdoor experiences year on year. Located in the heart of the Durham Dales our camp can sleep up to 45 children and provides beautiful woodland accommodation with immediate access to a whole range of outdoor activities.
