In 2025, Woodcraft Folk celebrated our centenary, marking 100 years of providing brilliant experiences for young people through activities, crafts, discussions, social action and camping.
Camp 100: What a Success!
As part of our celebrations, Camp 100 took place from 27th July to 6th August 2025 at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire. Thousands of young people travelled from across the UK and around the world to live by their co-operative values and look ahead to the next 100 years of Woodcraft Folk.
Building on Woodcraft Folk’s previous international camp in 2022, Camp 100 gave everyone experiences to remember. We played co-operative games, made new friends, took part in educational workshops, enjoyed adventurous activities and spent evenings relaxing around campfires.
We sang around campfires, attended workshops, had great discussions, made lifelong memories, danced into the evening, voted on motions, caught up with old friends, welcomed visitors and learnt lots of new things. We basically had the best time ever!
A huge thank you to everyone who made Camp 100 possible. Whether you brought your Elfins and wrangled them, ran a session in a Centre, worked as a KP for your village, volunteered during Working Week or simply came along and joined the fun, we genuinely could not have organised a camp like this without you.

What’s Next?
Venturer Camp will return in 2026, giving young people aged 13 to 15 another camp to remember.
Woodcraft Folk will host its next international camp in 2030. It will bring together young people from around the world for youth led activities, global connections, outdoor adventures, engaging workshops and unforgettable memories.
In keeping with the tradition of previous international camps, the 2030 camp will be built for young people, by young people. We are looking for volunteers interested in helping to shape and organise it.

You can express an interest in volunteering or suggest a theme for the camp by emailing ic2030@woodcraft.org.uk.
