It can be daunting going into the wilderness, not knowing what to expect! So we want to break down and give you a rough idea of what you can expect when you come to stay at Camp Wilderness. 

Arriving at camp 

Of course where it all begins! After drop-offs, we get straight into the wilderness spirit and head off to camp (which will be your base for the trip) We get stuck in with learning the basics of the campfire, different techniques ,and a chance to practice what they have learned.  

Now each day will be full of activities in the morning followed by lunch, more activities, and then dinner and evening games, so what will these activities look like? Here are just a few!  

Wilderness First Aid  

Wilderness First Aid is a firm favourite at camp! It provides the basic knowledge to help individuals cope in a medical emergency in the wild. It’s a fantastic session with knowledge that will last a lifetime.

Shelter Building 

We love to embrace the wilderness here at camp, what better way than learning how to use natural materials to create cover for warmth and protection from the elements. Its a fun learning experience where we teach different skills to secure items in place to create a strong and sound structure large enough to fit up to 8 people. 

Camouflage & Concealment 

This is a large-scale hide-and-seek exercise that the kids enjoy every time!  We teach different tactics to blend into your surroundings using a variety of materials. We separate ito groups and see who can blend the best!  

There are many more activities that take place and depending if you are with us for three or five days will depend on just how many are packed into your fun outdoor adventure!

The food on camp is always adjusted to the requirements of the group so make sure you let our team know about any dietary requirements beforehand to ensure they have all the fresh ingredients on site to make tasty wilderness dishes that no one has to miss out on.  

And finally, after a busy day out in the woods and full bellies from dinner it’s time to kick back and relax with some fun evening games and recount our favourite parts of the day. 

It’s an incredible opportunity to appreciate the wilderness to the fullest and embrace all the wonderful things nature has to offer us while removing ourselves away from technology and the regular day to day we all experience.  

We hope Camp wilderness will help you appreciate and connect with nature and give you a whole new host of knowledge and fresh perspective.
