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.
