A world away from the everyday

Their first time away, handled with care

Everything tastes better outside

Wood-fired pizza, cooked breakfasts, BBQ burgers and s'mores. No-nut policy; dietary needs catered for.

Where they sleep

Adventure Camp: camping in safari-style bell tents. Trailblazer: wooden eco pods, no sleeping bag required!

Staff and safeguarding

Experienced, fully checked camp staff who know how to make first-timers feel at home.

Phones and homesickness

We have a ‘no tech’ rule on all our kids camps! Camp Wilderness is an opportunity for children to get away from the busyness of their everyday lives and spend time away from their screens. It’s very rare for children not to settle at camp, but if your child is unhappy for any reason, not resolved by one of our staff, your child’s camp leader will contact you directly.

“We’ve been impressed over the years with basically every element of Camp Wilderness operation – from the efficiency of the admin, to the way allergies are handled, to the activities delivered and the connections made with the kids on camp. A reliable outfit like this is hard to find, and we’re repeat customers because of it.”Google review
“We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend at Camp at Penshurst - ably looked after by Josh, Cat and Chely who kept smiling and entertaining us throughout. Our kids had a great time and I have no doubt that bits of it will stick with them for life! Thank you very much!”Google review · Penshurst Place
“My son was furious that I’d booked him on a 3-day residential Camp Wilderness adventure… but he came back happy, muddy, challenged and victorious!”Google review
“Our kid enjoyed this camp. They came back dirty and tired and full of stories.”Google review
“This camp was so fun. I went for the 5 day explorer one and it was so fun. We did loads of different fun activities in the day and the camp leader and tribe leaders were so nice. Definitely recommend!”Google review

Questions from SuperCamps parents

My child is too old for SuperCamps. What's next?

Camp Wilderness runs residential camps for ages 8–16, so they can keep adventuring with the Active Learning Group family.

Can my child come on their own?

Yes. Many children arrive without a friend or group and leave with new ones.

How is this different from SuperCamps Bushcraft?

SuperCamps Bushcraft is a day course for 7–12s. Camp Wilderness takes those skills overnight, with camping, campfire cooking and bigger adventures.

What's included in the price?

Activities, accommodation, meals and snacks.
