Celts

At Celtic Harmony Camp children step into ancient Britain and experience Celtic life from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age through our programme of multi-sensory, experiential activities. School groups, led by our costumed education team take part in activities such as pottery, grinding grain and making bread, weaving on warp-weighted looms, bartering and trading with Celtic coins, archery, arts and crafts, fire lighting, warrior demonstrations and storytelling.

The Prehistory Explorer (2 days/1 night) is a perfect first residential experience with a dedicated costumed educator to guide you throughout your stay as your pupils have the opportunity to learn about working together and become more independent.

The Prehistory Adventure (3 days/ 2 nights) will immerse pupils in 800,000 years of Prehistory as they journey from Stone Age Hunter Gatherers, to Bronze Age Farmers and Iron Age Warriors. This programme encourages pupils to work together to solve problems in their clans as they experience ancient Britain hands-on.

The Go Tribal Transition (3 days/ 2 nights) is a dynamic residential designed to develop confidence and communication skills in order to cope with new situations. Pupils will develop a range of woodland knowledge and build on their resilience, as well as problem solving and primitive skills.
