Camp Wild
12 July to 28 August 2010
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.The programme includes the discovery of Devon's Jurassic coast world heritage site through a variety of unique experiences including a boat trip, 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 and even handle birds of prey, 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 and roaring campfires. And of course there are always Escot's award winning adventure gardens to explore, complete with forest drop slide.
