Wild Time programmes offer girls and young women an opportunity to ‘grow’ alongside experienced and qualified outdoorswomen to learn bushcraft skills, build confidence, develop a sense of self and have fun outdoors.
✨Why is this important now?✨
Young people’s mental health and wellbeing has never been so important – we hear much about the crisis of mental health among teenagers and recent UK statistics (young minds UK) show just how big the problem. This is mirrored globally. The challenges and worries of Gen Z in some ways (e.g. social media, climate change, covid) may be unique but these sit alongside the typical developmental challenges which come with this stage of life.
✨What will we be doing?✨
For this camp we will bring a group of girls together to learn new skills and face challenges in the wild; to explore the land by day and night, adventure across moor, woods and rivers to learn more about who they are and what they want from their lives on the threshold of young adulthood.
The adventure includes inner and outdoor challenges, bushcraft, wilderness survival skills, group games, wild walks, environmental art and crafts, and culminates in a final quest! We will cook on open fires, sleep under the stars, share stories as well as just hang out together in the peace and beauty of the wilderness.
✨How will the camp be?✨
This is a relatively small programme – typically for between 8-12 girls. This encourages the group to gel and helps the participants to feel supported and develop a sense of community.
✨Where will we be?✨
Our private venue is a wild riverside meadow on Dartmoor near to Newbridge. The facilities are basic; shelter and toilet tents are temporarily erected for the duration of the camp. Full details and directions will be made available after booking.
