Why in school camps?
In 2020 we had Covid shut down all opportunities for school residential trips, fast forward to 2021 and there was an awful lot of uncertainty as to whether schools could travel to outdoor centres, this forced us to approach trips differently, we thought if schools can't come to us, we'll come to them. This started with one school and over the course of the summer of 2021 we visited dozens of schools and brought a unique opportunity for adventure and experience into the school field. Fast forward to now and our in school camps continue to be popular, they allow a wonderful experience for children across a range of ages for a fraction of the price. We offer a range of options from activities and catering that allow you to tailor a program that works for you and your school.

Our luxury canvas bell tents come with ample space for 6+ children, and all come supplied with lights and camp beds. As well as the sleeping tents we also bring along our Jurtes to provide ample dining space for the whole class and the perfect place to sit around the fire whatever the weather.

There's a whole host of activities to choose from, from archery to survival skills. Depending on what you choose we can fill both the evening and the day after with a whole host of activities to make the experience even more memorable.
