Lupine Adventure can run activity camps for small or large groups of young people. We have experience of running camps for smaller groups on enrichment weeks to all year 11 geography students to entire year groups of 160 participants.
The format of the camp and the activities provided will depend on what you and your group want to get out of it and the location of the camp.
We have run these camps in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Kent, Surrey and Cumbria but there is no real reason why we can't do them anywhere in the country. We have found that Scout campsites generally offer the best facilities at a competitive rate.
Activities
The activities that we are available to offer will depend on the location of the site (both the geography and the facilities on offer in the locality).Typical activities include

How to arrange an activity camp
The best thing to do is to give us a bell to discuss your requirements. We can start from scratch but before you phone it may be useful if you have considered the following.
- What is the focus or purpose of the camp?
- How far are you able to travel from your school?
- Do you need us to arrange catering?
- What staff / and equipment you can provide and what we will need to provide or supply?
- What sort of budget will you have?
It doesn't matter if you don't have answers to questions above as we can work it out together
If you would like to discuss your requirements then please do get in touch.
