Is there such a thing as the perfect toasted marshmallow?

We think we've come pretty close! 🤩

Outdoor cooking and evenings around the campfire are some of the things that make a residential so memorable.

Feedback like this means so much to the team ❤️

We love welcoming schools back to Rootd year after year, and it’s great to hear that the experience continues to have such a positive impact on both pupils and staff.

Thank you to Simon B***e All-Through School for such lovely feedback. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next adventure!

We hope you’ve had a great summer!

After an action-packed summer holiday camp and a few weeks of well-deserved rest for the team, we’re now back on camp getting ready for our September trips.

For us, there’s nothing quite like seeing the Rootd camp come alive again with children exploring the woodland, taking on new challenges and discovering new skills – so we can’t wait to welcome you back!

Get ready to go on some exciting new adventures and to make plenty of special memories 😊

The Team Tree Trail is a fantastic activity to put you balance to the test and support your teammates!

Children love conquering the obstacles as they make their way around the course.

It is the perfect mix of challenge and fun!

Our bell tent villages are open!

It’s always exciting to see our bell tents going up – a reminder that the warmer weather and longer days have arrived.

For schools looking to create a real sense of adventure for pupils in a safe and manageable setting, our bell tents are the perfect option.

Children experience all the excitement of sleeping close to nature, while still benefitting from the comfort of bunk beds and reassurance of night toilets, motion sensor lighting and dedicated shower blocks nearby.

The Cresta toboggan run is always a highlight for schools (and staff!).

Children love cheering each other on as they whizz down the tracks.

It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline, laughter and team spirit, which creates unforgettable moments for schools 😊

Bluebell season is here 💙

Our woodland is in full bloom and it’s one of the most beautiful times to be on site.

The perfect backdrop to any outdoor adventure!

If you’re visiting us soon, you’re in for a treat 😊

When children get home from one of our residentials, it’s often our team they talk about most.

Because our staff are brilliant at getting to know every child in the group, making them feel included and encouraging them to push themselves out of their comfort zone.

And this is what children remember long after they’ve returned home.

Thank you to Harris Mayflower Academy for this lovely review! 😊

It’s always great to hear about the positive impact our staff have had on camp.

As Business Development Manager, Sophie’s involved in all areas of the business, with a particular focus on developing our bushcraft and nature-focused programmes – where her Master’s in Global Biodiversity Conservation comes in very handy!

Here she tells us what she enjoys most about working at Rootd and why she enjoyed residentials so much as a child…

“I love being part of such a passionate team of genuinely lovely people. I really enjoy learning from others and love that we all have such different backgrounds and interests, but the outdoors brings us all together.

“I loved residentials as a child. I was the classic creative, nature-loving kid and extracurriculars like residential trips allowed me to explore those parts of myself - meeting inspirational people and discovering things I was interested in that I may never have had the opportunity to discover in day-to-day school.”

And a fun fact about Sophie?

“In every country I visit, I try to see a new animal in the wild. I’ve been lucky enough to see baby orangutans swinging in the jungle of Borneo, swim with reef sharks and get up close and personal with black bears in Yosemite!”
