Outdoor Education Experiences
Take your students on an unforgettable adventure in the wilderness to learn new skills, build confidence and have fun!
Settling into the wilderness woodland environment, your students will have an immersive experience in the great outdoors. After you arrive on camp on day one, you’ll jump straight into the first fun activity of the day. Each day you’ll move between activities that test different skills as well as exploring the stunning woods that are your home for the duration of the trip.
Punctuated by meals and snack breaks, you’ll stay well energised for all the activities that are on offer. Evenings will be filled with fun and games as well as hot chocolates and s’mores around the campfire. Students and teacher alike sleep in bell tents that are situated round a central yurt. From arrival to departure, our residential trips are packed with wall-to-wall adventure!

Our trips are designed for primary and secondary school students from year 3 to year 8 and cater to all abilities – you can be an experienced adventurer or a complete wilderness novice and have a wealth of fun on camp. Our immersive school trips serve as an incredible supplement to classroom teachings throughout these critical stages of education.

This ensures that the students have exclusive access to the facilities and activities, maximizing their time and allowing for a fuller experience. We treat food as a part of the experience and not just fuel to get us through the fun. Our estates have a central kitchen which provides all hearty and tasty meals and snacks for all on camp! Students will also help cook some meals whilst nestled between the trees in our wilderness cookery activities.
Come on your adventure to one of our four locations – each a picturesque setting that offers the best of the UK’s stunning natural woodlands.

Lastly, we value the financial concerns of parents, and thus offer competitively priced, high-quality trips.
Celebrate the academic year in the great outdoors – the perfect opportunity to relax and have fun. It also gives your students something to look forward to and work towards, as well as boosting confidence and resilience ahead of students’ future endeavours.
Our summer trips run from May to July.
Start the new academic year positively by building bonds between students and staff – our trips are the perfect opportunity to get to know everyone, grow existing friendships and build strong relationships ready for the classroom. Discover new ways of learning and bring these skills back to the classroom.
Our autumn trips run from September to October.
Our extraordinary Bushcraft experiences are available year-round, offering flexibility beyond the usual summer and autumn seasons.

Our off-peak trips run from November to April.
“Beautiful location, fantastic staff from forest leaders to chefs. Amazing time had by all! We will be back in 2024.”
“A fantastic trip where children are able to just “be” and revel in the joys of nature and build team working skills and self confidence. The staff are incredibly supportive and really inspire the children. An amazing trip, well worth it!”
“This is our 3rd Bushcraft experience and we will definitely be back again in 2024. We really felt that Bushcraft is back, bigger and even better than ever.”
