Something for Everyone

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

The unique open environment 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.

We work with each family individually to make adjustments, or have a visit a few days before the club starts to ease nerves. We have quiet spaces and are very flexible.

If you’re not sure, get in touch, and we can discuss your child’s personal needs and how we can best meet them.

HOLIDAY CLUB CREW & RATIO’S

We always ensure we have a high staff:child ratio

well above the recommended OFSTED ratio’s.

We just don’t see how we can provide

• high quality care

• the high level of freedom & support

• the high quality crafts that we do without this amazing team

Fair trade fair wages

We pay all our crew at £15ph across the board.

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.

So..

Bring your young wild ones to hang out with our team:

Leah, Hannes, Emma, Yasmin & Jess

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

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

A 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!

The Rewild Project are starting new Friday Parent and child nature connection group.

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:

• Friday 13th January - 17th February 9.30 - 11.30am.

• Friday 13th January - 17th February 12:30-2:30 pm

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.
