Celtic Harmony Camp, the largest reconstructed Iron Age settlement in the UK has seven roundhouses located in a beautiful working woodland setting and has been offering hands-on heritage education for over eighteen years. Your class will learn more about the natural world and life in ancient Britain first-hand. Pupils also experience a more sustainable way of life for the future with sustainable facilities such as a solar powered green toilet.

Enjoyment: Children enjoy being outdoors and often face new challenges with positive attitudes, helping each other and working as a team.

Self Confidence: Children develop in confidence as they try new activities and progress towards successfully participating in new activities or seeing the visual results of a craft.

Social Skills: Children and young people appreciate the need to work together in challenges and the role in the group.

Appreciation for the Natural World: As children experience first-hand how the ancient Britons lived in harmony with the natural world, their appreciation, respect and belonging to their natural environment grows.

Other skills include understanding how to dress appropriately for the outdoors and to feel comfortable being outside in a range of weathers.
