Tent camping.
Forest Quest can run camping experiences for schools, or for other youth or family groups. Andrew has had plenty of experience taking groups of young people camping especially with Scouts and has run several overnight experiences for Schools.
Where?
Ideally the site needs toilets, washing facilities and plenty of space for tents and suitable facilities for activities.
Activities.
Children are encouraged to learn about camping and living outdoors. They put up the tents and cook their own meals, learn how to look after their kit and keep themselves clean.
Depending on your aims, the duration, and the facilities available at the site, we can organise a variety of activities to ensure an active and fulfilling experience for the children. Bushcraft, pioneering, or map reading work well, as do challenging games which promote teamwork, skills and fitness. Of course it’s also an ideal opportunity to light a fire and enjoy a campfire sing along.
Equipment.
Forest Quest has a number of tents and cooking equipment for reasonably sized groups. We also have some individual equipment such as sleeping bags if children don't have their own.
Preparation.
We'll work with you to devise an exciting and enjoyable programme, and provide information such as kit lists so the children are fully prepared.
