Into The Wild Day Camp Escot

Day 1: Camp set up

When we arrive at the beginning of the week, our woodland will be bare and wild. The teams first priority is to prioritise creature comforts! We’ll be working on making a shelter, a fire pit, seating and making the camp a home.

Day 2: Campfire Cooking (food provided)

The success of the previous day will allow the team to look after themselves properly, and what better way to settle into their camp, than to embark on some awesome campfire cooking; get your skillets and dutch-ovens on the heat, and feast like royalty (of the woodland). This is hosted by Debbie Miller, our very own forest chef extraordinaire.

Day 3: Tool-work and woodland carving

The group will now fully feel at home, and today’s focus will be around mindfulness and tool work skills. Hosted by our very own Spoon-Carving gurus, who will take the group through axe and knife work to create their very own wooden spoon.

Day 4: Woodland Craft and wind-down

After a busy week of learning new skills, this day will be a chance to play some team games in the morning, before embarking upon some fiddly crafts using some of the resources from the natural surroundings. A celebration and completion ceremony for all who have invested their time, effort and passion into an awesome week.

Packed lunch, water bottle, spare change of clothes, wellies and waterproofs!

Where is this taking place?

Is our holiday provision suitable for your child?

Our holiday clubs aim to provide children with an environment in which they are free to be themselves, meet new friends and socialise whilst engaging in fun forest school activities. We aim to be as inclusive as possible, and strive to provide all children with the right to engage in a session that promotes success and happiness through exploration and play. It is however separate provision from our term time activities, including the 1:1 programmes and The Outdoors School and therefore requires that children are able to attend without their parent/guardian and have a level of independence that does not require close supervision or assistance outside of what we would typically expect. If your child is registered with us on a 1:1 programme, please contact us prior to booking to discuss the suitability of these groups. In some cases where qualified staff are available, we may be able to provide 1:1 support during holiday clubs. If you think this is a likely requirement you will need to email [email protected] with your enquiry.
