Escot Camp Wild

Escot Camp Wild delivers exciting nature based outdoor 1, 2 and 4 night residential programmes for 8-12 year-olds (plus 7 year-old siblings) and day programmes for 6-12 year olds. Accommodation is based at yurt village where children sleep in bunk beds in girl and boy sleeping pods, eat meals with friends and enjoy a huge variety of activities which connect children to wildlife, nature and outdoor play.

Some of the activities include: The discovery of Devon's Jurassic coast world heritage site through a variety of unique experiences including fossil hunting, rock pooling and beach games.

Children will meet and feed Escot's otters, play water games, go pond and stream dipping, and hike amongst Escot's 1100 acres of woodland and parkland, they will experience the wonders of wildlife by helping to feed Escot's wild boar, watch birds of prey displays, and learn exciting bush craft skills including fire lighting, shelter building and swamp walking.

Team challenges, art projects, music and games will make up the remainder of the Camp Wild experiences along with estate night hikes, skits, roaring campfires and a Friday night campfire / barbeque. We want your children to experience something unique and special.  We know what adventure means to children and we understand that holidays are supposed to be fun.   

For children, Camp Wild is pure enjoyment and an outdoor adventure.  It really is as wild as it sounds!

As the programme evolves, it will see the historic walled garden restored to the food and flower production role they enjoyed in centuries gone by, and the greenhouses will also be gradually restored.
