The 3 Day Adventure Camp is designed as a first residential for 8 to 12 year olds. Children who have camped before, or are ready for more independence, usually love the extra time on a 5 day camp.
Can my child come on their own?
Yes. Many children arrive on their own. Friends and siblings can be placed together using “Tribe buddies” on the form we email you after booking.
Can they bring a phone?
Camp has a strict no-tech rule, so please leave phones and electronics at home. We email you an update on the middle day of camp.
What should they pack?
Your Parent’s Pack has a full kit list. Old clothes are perfect, and if rain is forecast please pack waterproofs, wellies and spare layers. Please label everything.
What happens if it rains?
Camp carries on. The tree canopy gives plenty of shelter and activities can move into our large yurts.
Will they shower?
On 5 day camps, children shower once. Hand-washing is encouraged throughout and showers are always available if needed.
