In School Wilderness Camp School Trip
The Wilderness Co
DL12 9RF
The camps are a great opportunity for younger KS2 children to access a residential experience without the need to leave school, often developing confidence and resilience for future trips. For older students it's a cost effective option allowing for memorable experiences without the logistics that come with an offsite residential. We bring a wealth of experience when I comes to these experiences and we return to the same schools year on year bringing the personal touch that comes from a small family run company.
Packages vary, depending how much you'd like us to take care of, we typically provide a BBQ on an evening as well as activities throughout including marshmallow toasting and hot chocolate around the campfire with a host of campfire songs to thrown in. In the morning we offer a continental breakfast before the children back up and head back into school, however some school choose to add in activities on the second day too.
We can visit your school in: All UK Regions
