Outdoor Explorer Camp – Summer of discovery

This summer, let your child explore a world of adventure at the Outdoor Explorer Camp at Earth Trust. Set amongst the meadows, woodland and historic hilltops of Wittenham Clumps, our day time camp is designed to give children a chance to connect with nature, try new skills, make friends and enjoy an unforgettable outdoor experience.

Explore the natural history of our woodlands and meadows where wildlife hides in plain sight or discover hidden treasures buried in our landscape with our ancient history explorations. With our expert instructors to guide them, your child will get the chance to build shelters and try their hands at ancient crafts. They will learn bushcraft skills such as lighting fires, knots, wood carving and whittling and make and enjoy fireside snacks or cook up a whole feast on the campfire.

Guided by expert instructors, across the four sessions each week children will have the chance to:

🧩 Try your hand at nature crafts

🔥 Or have a go at bushcraft skills

🍳 Cook over campfires, with something different every day

🏁 Play team games with your newfound friends

🌳Explore our ancient woodlands and wetlands

Our summer explorer camps will run across three weeks throughout August.

Each day offers varied activities, so whether you book a single day or the full four-day experience, there will always be something new to discover. This is a physical day spent outdoors, so children need to be up for the challenge!
