Eagles Challenge Camp | 7-11 SEPT | 8.5-11yrs | 9am-2pm

About

Five full days of challenge, independence and adventure for 8.5 to 11 year olds at Wildlings Dempsey: dense planting, natural terrain, a signature campfire area and an extended environment stretching into surrounding fields and jungle trails. Full day camp: 9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday to Friday, 7th to 11th September. Drop-off from 8:45am. Lunch is included: bento lunches from our caterer, with a choice of standard, vegetarian or allergy-friendly meals. Pick your child's meal at booking. Home time is 2:00pm. Children are involved in the design of their camp week, so every camp is unique. Our educators get to know the children, then plan the week's experiences around the interests of each group, drawing on the environment, the forest school ethos, years of experience and our bespoke catalogue of experiences. Eagles get access to the full environment: the campfire area, the jungle trails, the treehouse, the climbing tree, the slackline and beyond. Expect harder challenges, greater independence and the kind of outdoor skills that build lasting confidence. What to expect: - Advanced fire skills and independent camp cooking - Survival skills and challenges - Advanced tool use and creative woodworking - Navigation, orienteering and expedition skills - Shelter building, knots, lashes & tent pitching - Environmental science, foraging, garden projects and sustainability - Team expeditions and physical challenges Every child brings something different to camp. We see future scientists, builders, leaders, problem-solvers and adventurers, and our educators draw out each child's strengths. Bring a water bottle, morning snack, sun hat, covered shoes and a change of clothes. Full details are in the camp guide, emailed to you after booking. Why Wildlings?
