Adventure Camp (August 2011)

Five days of camp culture, circus & survival skills & fun outdoor activites for social & emotional development

See Adventure Camp - Summer 2011 on Vimeo for a more detailed slideshow of this camp.

Designed to develop confidence in the outdoors, develop self -esteem and build positive relationships between 9-13 year olds, some of them in foster care.  This camp developed survival skills through bush craft workshops and resilience through challenging activities like surfing and horse-riding.  Living and working together in the beautiful Exmoor National Park for five days allowed the camp to focus on Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) and creating a big happy family.

“What’s the difference between being here and being at home playing computer games? Well here it’s like you’re living a computer game and it’s way better than a computer game. Computer games are bad for your eye sight and this is way good for your eye sight cos you can just see everything and just do it, go and jump in the sea.”
