We offer non-residential and residential camps for young people who are experiencing difficulties in their young lives or who are experiencing problems with their mental health and wellbeing.  These range from 2 to 4 days in duration, with some including overnight camping.

Our programmes are nature-based and use a range of activities and skills to enable our young clients to understand themselves better, learn to manage their emotions and behaviour in a way that is more helpful to them and learn how to manage relationships better. They also have an opportunity to understand their choices and the consequences that come from these.
Our outcomes from existing work show significant changes in self-esteem and confidence, behaviour, self-respect, relationships and a love of nature and the outdoors.
Our skills lie in working with a range of referral information and include anxiety and depression, self- harm, family breakdown, anger and conflict patterns, attention deficit and associated conditions, and trauma.
We work in small groups of no more than eight at a time and the facilitation team is always with a qualified counsellor and outdoor instructor and other support workers, as required.
We aim to maintain a calm, safe and positive space with a strong safeguarding interest.
Our methods include bushcraft and camp skills, long distance walks and picnics, nature volunteering, exploring our wild space, hammock time, group time and individual time one-to-one.
We aim to keep a calm and supportive presence at all times, with an emphasis on inclusion, respect, honesty and nurture.
All potential participants will need to have a referral form and an interview prior to attendance.
This could be carried out by Skype for those living further afield.
