Escot Camp Wild - New for 2010!
Award winning Escot Park is about to set new standards in children's summertime activities. Camp Wild begins in 2010 and for many lucky children, summer holidays will never be quite the same again.
The recipe is simple. Just take 1100 acres of glorious East Devon and add a specially designed yurt village built by West Country craftsmen.
Now comes the magic ingredient: a five-day residential package for children with 2, 3 or 5 night options, developed in California and brought to the UK by Escot newcomer Victoria Siddle-Virok, an expert in this field. And there you have it, fun, learning and vivid experiences of Nature that will stay with children for the rest of their lives. And a UK first for East Devon.
For more information, email Victoria: campwild@escot-devon.co.uk or visit www.escotcampwild.co.uk
The Otter Valley Harvest Hub is an exciting new community project based at Escot. It's permaculture-for-everyone and aims to raise enthusiasm locally for grow your own and to provide an educational centre of excellence on the subject.
As the programme evolves, it will see the historic walled gardens restored to the food and flower production role they enjoyed in centuries gone by, and the greenhouses will also be gradually restored. In these early days, the organisers are keen to recruit volunteers, so if you have an interest, or just to find out more, please see www.harvesthub.blogspot.com

- Just a note of thanks to you and your staff for making my daughter's wedding so very wonderful. Escot is ‘the' place to be married, the atmosphere, the food and all of the assistance by yourself and staff was second to none. A truly wonderful day to treasure forever.
