Creating authentic experiences for our children in nature
The basic principle of our camps is essentially that of creating experiences for our children where they can most wholly and truly be themselves.
Every child is precious and has something important to bring to the world, regardless of their apparent challenges.
There are no limits to our creative and social possibilities and potentials
Children’s Summer Camp 2023

We are sorry to say that the camp is now full and we cannot accept any more applications this year. Sorry for any disappointments.
The camp is open to children aged 8 – 14 years from all backgrounds. Sorry but we cannot take any 15yr olds this year.
We offer reductions for those who cannot afford the full fee. Just let us know if this would be required in your case.

Camp Activities
Mosaics, kite-making, leatherwork, candles, steam-cars, beadwork, and a sweat-lodge among others. There is no limit to the creative possibilities. Every year we are amazed at the capacity of our helpers and children to come up with new creative ideas in all that they do – and with such community spirit!

“Firstly I just want to say a HUGE thank you. I really appreciated all of the support F received to help him stay at camp. And also B just had the BEST time, she has had nothing but good things to say which is quite unlike her.“
Mum 05
“I just wanted to say thank you for the camp and for giving the children such a lovely time. S had a good experience overall and little bits come out here and there and I am getting a bigger picture now, He say’s he would like to go another time so that is encouraging! Thank you for helping with the anxiety of sending him off on his own for the first time, (I think he found it much easier than me) and after talking to a few parents, it sounds like I wasn’t the only one who struggled with it. Having regular updates really helped, thank you for that.“
