Process
How School Adventure Days Work
Your school will have the run of 90 acres – so the options are vast!
We work with you to curate a day to suit your cohort, including tailoring it towards any current learning.
Flexible drop offs – buses or parents (if you're wanting to keep costs down) – we have space for either.
A usual day runs from 9:30 – 2:30 with four activities on rotation (some guided and some self-led).
The Deer Shed is your base for the day, set in an enclosed area for safe play during lunch and transitions.
Inclusion corner with sensory toys, bean bags and blankets for children who need a quiet moment.

A Typical Adventure Day
Classes rotate through four different activities throughout the day.
"We had an amazing adventure at Base Camp! I cannot recommend it highly enough. We took the whole school (over 200 children), aged 4-11 for the day. Hannah was incredibly helpful throughout the whole planning process and on the day itself, ensuring that every detail was thought through and ran smoothly. All of the Base Camp team were so friendly and helpful. The children and staff had such a memorable day. It was a perfect day, and we will be back!"— Thorner CofE Primary School
