WHAT’S IT LIKE STAYING AT PENSHURST PLACE

Experience the outdoors in our Safari-Style Tented Village

Our residential summer camps, for children aged 8 – 14, are held in safari-style tented woodland camps, with beautiful bell tents, large tipis and yurts. The central yurt and campfire create a cosy hub with seating all around for socialising during the downtime, there’s also an outdoor kitchen and the sleeping tents surrounding the camp. All activities take place in and around the woodland camp.

KIDS CAMPS
Each residential camp caters for a maximum of 60 children, who will be split into tribes on arrival (you can specify your children’s tribe buddies when booking). Children will stay in large single-sex bell tents, sleeping in groups of 8-10, and take part in full days of outdoor activities and learning bushcraft skills.
