About Camp Wilderness:
Camp Wilderness is all about getting back-to-basics on a good old fashioned summer camp adventure… whether you’re hoping to re-wild your kids, or get the whole family back outdoors there’s a wilderness escape for everyone at Camp Wilderness.

Once upon a time, nestled deep within the enchanting wilderness, there stood a camp like no other – Camp Wilderness. It was a place where young adventurers embarked on thrilling journeys, immersing themselves in the wonders of nature and honing their bushcraft skills.

Camp Wilderness is a rite of passage, where children transform into young adventurers, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. It is a place where they discover their true potential, nurture their love for nature, and embrace the spirit of exploration.
At Camp Wilderness we take pride in delivering kids holiday camps that offer a break from the plugged-in world and re-wild them in the wilderness. We have designed 8 different holiday camp types for children of all abilities – and families too! Our camps range from traditional camping in bell tents to wooden eco pods in the woodland all the way to brick and mortar accommodation in the heart of natural wonders.

A child can join any of our May half term and summer camps that they are age-eligible for but also have the option to progress through different camps while building on previous skills and taking their adventure to the next levels.

When can you join Camp Wilderness:
During May Half Term and the Summer Holidays every year. Throughout July & August

Reviews from other campers parents:
"Fantastic experience for kids. I sent my two grandsons and they had a blast, experiencing nature, learning survival skills, and being free for five days. No electronics, just pure nature, out in the woods. They came home dirty and tired, and a bit more confident. Perfect."
