Rewild Family Camp - Spring '24

Bring your whole family to join the REWILD team for a fun packed, WILD:

Spring ‘24 (Easter)
Family Camp

at biblins, woodcraft folk campsite
SymonDs Yat / Forest of Dean

This campsite gives us all the benefits of being nestled in some truly amazing wild landscape
to explore and enjoy,
whilst having the benefits of some modern day luxuries like showers and toilets!

We will have use of the picnic barn, as well as our own 5m Geodome
and a Fab Fire Circle well stocked with firewood.

 
 

On this EPIC Family camp,
like no other:

We will become an ancestral clan…

each day cooking together around the fire

crafting together

exploring nature and land based activities,

free , wiid & ‘risky’ play…

 
 
 
 

This is a Truly Top Class
Rewilding Immersion Opportunity

We’ve been working with people of all ages here in the Forest of Dean

For many years now,

and this idea we have been incubating for so long!

Bringing people with a similar ethos as us together.

Creating opportunity for nourishing our souls and spirits

 
 

Natural Rhythms

Each day will follow a rhythm

like the rhythm of breathing…
both inwards and outwards

Providing enough time for our energy to flow

Circling together:

To eat nourishing food

Exploring our senses,

The seasons

New Skills

Led by the example of our inspirational crew

and listen to traditional & seasonal stories.

Spiralling Outwards

To explore

Play

Rest

Re-Wild Foods

We know that nourishment & nutrition is such an important topic…

With busy lives, and so many (toxic) convenience foods all around..

It almost impossible to surround our children with healthy options

We want our short time with them to be joyful

YET the toxic consumerism seeps into almost every aspect of our lives

Nourishing Wild & Ancestral Food Included

The menu isn’t yet set - but this is how we usually roll

Preparing food together

Leaving processed, artificially sweetened food and drinks behind

Nourishing ourselves with local spring water and best quality, low carb foods.

We’d love to be fully Paleo on this camp, let us know what you think when booking…

Many of these wildlings don’t eat whole foods at home

BUT we have some magic ingredients….

FRESH AIR & FUN

 
 

PLUS

wholesome Breakfast

Eggs and meat are a great way to start your day,
or there will be porridge, bananas, fruit nuts and seeds for the kiddos a bit earlier.

PLUS

A nourishing tea time

Something simple and easy to cook over the fire together as we reflect on our days activities.

Talk about good food education!

We won’t be talking about it - we will just be LIVING it. 

We will walk the walk,
and lead by example - together as a clan.

sooo many of our wildlings go home asking to help with the cooking, trying new things
- we know this is the way

Strength in numbers - the nuclear family was a terrible invention for our children.

Something for Everyone

We have met the needs of many young people with additional needs.

Our unique open approach seems to suit kids who struggle in mainstream education and we are able to give them the space they need to find their place, without pressure.

Families of the REWILDING disposition seem to have been blessed with fiesty spirited children

Children with STRONG WILL forces

And that is just what we need to nurture

for an uncertain future

Lets give these beautiful souls
what they have been asking us for:

Higher quality skills training

Better opportunities for well managed risky play opportunities

REAL people to connect with

REAL outdoor experiences

More friends and grownups who understand and love them for

WHO THEY ARE

Rewild Family camp CREW

We would love to tell you more about how amazing, and life changing this camp will be

But the truth is - that we don’t know yet!

We need you to book

And tell like minded friends

We always offer sliding scale payments to keep everything we do as accessible as we can

We will keep adding info here as we receive booking and can confirm another of our amazing crew…

What we can tell you is that we work with creative, passionate, energetic people
Who love to share

Love to live wild

And also want to build this clan

So..

Bring your wild ones big and small to hang out with our awesome team:

to have outdoor fun, crafts, egg hunt, painting and fun & frolics!

Top Class Food

“My son never ate vegetables at home until going to the Rewild Holiday Club - now he wants to help prepare food with me and is so much more open to trying new things” 
- Bream parent.

“I love going to Rewild during the holidays, I see all my rewild friends & I love playing with the real tools there, planting seeds and picking food to eat for dinner. We play tig, hide and seek, and pick apples”
Wildling 

“I would have loved to home educate my kids doing a nature based education, but I’m not able to right now. I absolutely love that my kids can get all the crafts and nature skills at Wildlings during the holidays, it’s an absolute lifeline to us as a respite from formal mainstream schools, they all love going so much and learn so much about growing food, and the crafts they come home with are amazing - not like any other children’s craft group I’ve ever seen.

These Outdoor Rewild nature connection sessions will loosely follow our holistic Craft and Land Skills curriculum.

Sessions will allow children to develop themselves through healthy play and tutor-led engagement with risk, problem-solving and self-discovery, all within a natural environment in a hands-on and dynamic manner. 

We aim to led regular sessions over at least a year, to help both parents and children to reconnect to the natural rhythm exploring the different seasons.

Tutors supply playful, meaningful activities which nurture the instinctive human ability to learn through overcoming a risk, challenge or problem.

You and your children may also be taught how to safely use tools like knives and axes for whittling or chopping wood, and how to light and safely be around campfires.  We offer risky play, which enables children to learn to risk assess for themselves, building trust in themselves and their ability to self manage. it also includes social and emotional risk;  through embracing something new and different,  crafts and land skills, or confronting the fear of looking silly, games and challenges. 

Sessions will include 

  • Permaculture

  • Foraging & outdoor cooking

  • Landscape planning

  • Seasons

  • Weather

  • Counting & measuring

  • Willow crafts

  • Jewelry crafts

  • Clay

  • Nature walks

  • Tree identifying throughout the seasons

  • Whittling

  • Maths, Science, Design Technology and many others (all as part of life & living)

  • We aim to promotes self-esteem, creativity, confidence and independence.

It is a series of long-term sessions that build on the needs and development of the child. ...

It enables supported risk-taking, child-centred learning, exploration and play.

We also seek to offer support and a social experience for parents/carers Spending time outdoors with friendly faces around a campfire is an opportunity for you to unwind, connect with others and watch your child happily at play.

Registration is for 7 Sessions, each session is 2 hours long starting:

Of course every child is unique, and by treating the young people we work with, with respect, listening to their needs and helping them to build trust and feel comfortable in the space, with our non competitive, collaborative approach most young people find their place quickly. Do contact us if you want to discuss anything in more detail.

Joining

We would love for your young person to join and thrive with this unique opportunity. You can book a taster session below. Places are strictly limited. Max group size 12, with 2 members of staff plus craftspeople.

Wildings Wiinter Holiday Club
Dec
19
to Dec 20

Wildings Wiinter Holiday Club

  • The Rewild Project Permaculture Allotment (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Send your little wildings to join The Rewild Project team for fun packed creative school holidays days at Kensley Sheds Craft Centre, right in the heart of the forest.

Each day we offer a range of heritage crafts, nature and land based activities, plus large scale play, free play and risky play such as:

  • Willow Weaving

  • Ceramics

  • Jewellery Making

  • Textiles

  • Felt craft

  • Leatherwork

  • Chopping veg & cooking the famous ‘Rewild Soup’

  • Flower pressing

  • Pond dipping

  • Soil testing

  • Plant ID

  • Herb lore

  • Water play

  • Real Tools

Each day is gently structured to provide enough time for the energy to flow both inwards and outwards, coming together for circle times, eating nourishing food together and exploring the senses, the seasons and listening to traditional stories.

Lunch & Snacks Provided

Local, organic, fresh produce, picked from our allotment where possible, and wholefoods will be prepared with the children onsite each day. Soups / stews / daals. All diets catered for. Oak cakes, corn cakes, fruit & porridge for snacks each morning & afternoon circle times & spring water available throughout the day to drink.

HOLIDAY CLUB CREW & RATIO’S

We have 4 staff onsite for up to 20 children - this is a ratio of 1:5 which is double the recommended OFSTED ratio’s. We just don’t see how we can provide the high quality care, the level of freedom, support and quality crafts that we do, without this amazing team.

We also pay all the Rewild Project employed crew at £15ph across the board, from admin crew, to project leads, and especially the holiday staff who work so hard. It feels fair to pay people a fair wage that they can live from. We want to move towards a society where we can all contribute without the need for money, living from the land, in harmony with the seasons. But until we have our own land, our crew need to earn a decent wage.
