Our Camps.
The Perfect Locations

Wormsley

We’re delighted to be able to run our camps from the beautiful Wormsley estate.
We operate from an idyllic slice of 2,700 acre estate, with a private 12 acre meadow for our bell tents and stretch shelters. The meadow is surrounded on all sides by mature woodland, with plenty of natural materials for all of our bushcraft activities. It’s the perfect spot for a Campfire adventure.

Ullswater, The Lake District

We’re delighted to be able to run our new camp on the shores of Ullswater, in the Lake District.
It's a magnificent piece of private parkland above the lake, which we have exclusive use of. Through our partnership with Ullswater Wake and Surf, students will be able to experience the best of activities on and off the water. On land we'll be running bushcraft and survival sessions, and on the water students will be stand up paddle boarding and raft building.

  • Morning: Welcome to camp! Meet your Campfire instructors, get to know your camp, and fun team building tasks. Instructors will build in survival skills throughout the duration of the camp.

    Afternoon: Fire lighting workshop looking at different ways to get the Campfire started, including some advanced methods - no matches allowed! Students might use ferro rods, bow drills or some unusual tinders to get the fire going.

    Evening: Students begin to prepare their evening meal, which they will cook on their fires in their teams, with instructors to assist where needed. Group campfire, stories, and songs after dinner.

  • Morning: In to the woods to look at shelter building using natural materials and tarps. Also looking at camouflage and concealment before getting cleaned up for lunch!

    Afternoon: Food workshop, preparing and processing meat or fish. This will be delivered sensitively and respectfully by the instructors. Any students who don’t wish to participate will be able to take part in alternative activities. A session on wild foods and forage around the site for some extra ingredients to go with dinner.

    Evening: Teams will cook their dinner on their fires, then another group Campfire after dinner with storytelling. Students are also encouraged to come with some good stories to share!

  • Morning: Students will learn about natural navigation and animal tracking. They’ll learn to identify animals and how they move, and go for a nature hike around the estate. They’ll also be introduced to using nature to find North using plants, stars, and magnetising.

    Afternoon: Archery session, including competitions and learning why tools like the bow and arrow helped us to gather food and hunt.

We’ve been running mobile camps since day one, bringing the Campfire to schools across the UK. We have customisable programmes available for all ages. These camps are cost efficient and ideal for younger year groups.
