JOIN US ON AN ADVENTURE INTO THE WILD!
For our August camp we will bring a group of girls together to learn new skills and face challenges in the wild; to explore the land by day and night, adventure across moor, woods and rivers to learn more about who they are and what they want from their lives on the threshold of young adulthood.
The adventure includes inner and outdoor challenges, bushcraft, wilderness survival skills, group games, wild walks, environmental art and crafts, and culminates in a final quest! We will cook on open fires, sleep under the stars, share stories as well as just hang out together in the peace and beauty of the wilderness.
This is not a typical outdoor programme. It has all the adventure you’d expect but with the added power of Rites of Passage.
We invite you to come and learn some new skills, discover more about yourself, face challenges in a supportive group, make new friends, have some great fun, and be energised and inspired by some quality time out in the wilds!
About Wild Time Camps
Wild Time programmes offer girls and young women aged between 11 and 17 years an opportunity to ‘grow’ alongside experienced and qualified outdoorswomen to learn bushcraft skills, build confidence, develop a sense of self and have fun outdoors.
We offer 2 Wild Time Camps tailored to suit the age group: the youngers camp for 11-13 years is in April with a longer camp for 14-17 year olds in August. This will ensure the themes and activities are age appropriate to the group but will also encourage more meaningful connections and the development of a sense of community between the girls.
Developed by experienced guides and outdoorswomen over years of working with youth, this unique programme offers the right balance of play, adventure and creativity to help girls develop interpersonal skills and inner resources, and enter young adulthood with a deeper sense of self and from a more confident place.
Wild Time Offers:
Essential outdoor survival skills and bushcraft
Outdoor games and campcraft
Quality downtime immersed in nature
Connecting with experienced mentors and other girls of around the same age
Guided sessions to reflect on your life and look ahead
We aim to:
Build self-confidence and resilience
Honour the diverse story of what it means to be a young woman today
Challenge and guide each girl on their journey into womanhood
Details will be sent ahead of time to help prepare for the rite of passage element of the programme. And similarly to conclude it, we ask parents and care givers to be present on the last afternoon of the camp for a closing ceremony.
Wild Time Camp for Girls is run in partnership with Wildwise.
