Tech-free outdoor summer camps for children aged 8–14, and family wilderness weekends for ages 6+. Run by bushcraft experts, in ancient English woodland.
We believe every child deserves time outdoors, away from screens, doing things they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. Lighting their first fire. Sleeping out under the stars. Tracking animals through the woods. Turning stream water into something safe to drink.
Camp Wilderness is where children and families swap notifications for campfires, build confidence and independence, and come home with skills, stories and friendships that last long after the summer ends.
✓ Tech-free by design
✓ Small tribes, big friendships
✓ Real bushcraft skills
✓ Confidence and independence

How we look after them
Safe hands. Big adventures.
Camp Wilderness is run by The Bushcraft Company, the UK’s largest provider of bushcraft camps, with years of experience in pastoral care, health and safety, and outdoor activities.
Pastoral care
Enhanced DBS-checked staff sleep in the yurt on camp every night, with at least one female member of staff on site at all times. Every child is part of a small tribe with a leader who gets to know them.
Health & safety
Every camp leader is first aid trained, every activity is risk assessed, and our field cooks hold food hygiene certificates. We keep you updated before, during and after camp.
Expert instructors
Our bushcraft and adventure instructors live and breathe the outdoors. They teach real skills, safely, and their enthusiasm is what keeps children coming back year after year.
“One of my boys is autistic and has been too anxious to join before, however he was so well supported by the staff that he is already asking to go again next year.”

Camp progression
A rite of passage, summer after summer.
Once upon a time, a child went to camp and learnt to build a shelter. The next summer they came back for more. Children can return every year from age 8 to 14, building on what they learnt the year before.

“It seems to us that in one week he is changing so much. He is more mature, he communicates better, he is more responsible. One week without devices is doing wonders.”

“This is the 4th year that my son goes to camp and he loves everything about it. As parents, we love it too as it’s very well organised and the staff are always friendly and reassuring.”
PARENT · ADVENTURE CAMP, PENSHURST PLACE · 2026
“This was our kids’ 3rd summer at Camp Wilderness and it just keeps getting better… The journey home was just a long stream of stories about fun activities, new friends and how great the staff were.”
