About: Camping in our safari-style bell tents on our family summer camps, you will get to experience a taster of the ‘bushcraft’ lifestyle.
Our two-day family summer camp will ease you into the outdoors. Camping in our safari-style bell tents, you will get to experience a taster of the ‘bushcraft’ lifestyle. Your time will be spent settled around a campfire or out exploring in some of the most beautiful woodland our country has to offer.
While on our family activity camp you’ll get to disconnect with the whole family on a weekend away from the screens and immerse in the beautiful woodlands. With bushcraft challenges for every age, this summer camp is a wonderful way to bond and create memories.
Whether you are learning how to track animals or foraging for food, each activity will be run by our camp leaders who will share their knowledge and expertise to ensure a wonderful weekend is had by all. This family summer camp is a great taster experience for families wanting to dip their toes into the outdoors.
Highlights: Fire-Lighting, Wilderness Cookery, Shelter-Building, Camp Craft, Fireside Stories, Marshmallows and Hot Chocolate
WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON MOBILE PHONES AND ELECTRONICS?
We have a ‘no tech’ rule on all our camps! Camp Wilderness is an opportunity for children to get away from the busyness of their everyday lives and spend time away from their screens. Please do not send your child to camp with their phone, or any other high value electricals. Any phones that arrive on camp will be stored in a safe box, so that we can ensure they don’t get damaged. If we need to get in contact with you regarding your child’s welfare, our staff will have a full list of parents contact numbers and will be in touch directly.
DO YOU CATER FOR SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
We take the dietary requirements very seriously at Active Learning Centres we have a robust system in place which accounts for all 14 listed allergens and even allergies which are not recognized by FSA legislation are catered for.
We can supply a carb counted menu on request for anyone with diabetes, and also have the facility to weigh and count the food on site.
All our catering staff and instructors are trained in allergy awareness and Natasha’s law.
Whilst we endeavor to replicate an allergy-free alternative for every meal sometimes this just isn’t possible but with careful planning and a simple chat with the catering staff we can make sure there is always plenty to eat for everyone with an allergy.
With such a good selection of dishes available fussy eaters can be catered for but due to cross contamination possibilities and storage issues we cannot allow food to be brought into the Centre except in severe medical circumstances.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
Our camps have large tipi-structures where activities can take place if we have any inclement weather – most of the time, we continue whatever the weather, as we’re often shaded by the tree canopy.
