The Wild Woods Camp is a fully immersive woodland residential designed to meet the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award residential criteria, combining adventure, skill-building, and shared purpose.

Set in a woodland environment, participants cook and eat communally and take part in a wide range of bushcraft and outdoor activities. From the outset, the focus is on teamwork, independence and stepping outside comfort zones while forming new connections with people from different backgrounds.

Across the week, participants develop practical bushcraft and survival skills such as shelter building, fire lighting, wild cooking, navigation, wild first aid, water purification and the safe use of tools.

Adventure and challenge are central, with activities including archery, tomahawks, tree climbing with harnesses, paddle boarding, gel blasters and team challenge games. Alongside this the programme embeds citizen science and conservation with hands-on woodland management, water monitoring, wildlife tracking and farm tasks that contribute to real environmental projects.

Evenings are spent around the fire with storytelling, reflection, and talent shows, creating a strong sense of community and shared achievement.

The Wild Woods Camp delivers a purposeful, memorable residential experience that builds confidence, resilience, environmental awareness, and leadership.

All inclusive cost from point of collection at train station or bus station.
