Join us for Camps for All!
Woodcraft Folk is a movement for children and young people, open to everyone from birth to adult. Woodcraft Folk offers a place where children will grow in confidence, explore engaging activities, take part in workshops, learn about the world, build lasting friendships and start to understand how to value our planet and each other.
We aim to bring exciting experiences to young people from all backgrounds through organising engaging events for young people (aged 10-15) as part of our ‘Camp for All’ initiative. Whether you are new to Woodcraft Folk or a long standing member, we want young people to join us for a weekend filled with fun, adventure and making new friends.
Non members and members can register their interest in a camp or residential via the form at the bottom of the page and we will then send you the relevant event information and booking instructions. Further details on upcoming camps can be found below.
Upcoming camps!
Our Camps for All weekend residentials will take place at centres and campsites across the UK that are owned and/or managed by Woodcraft Folk. Find out more about our centres and campsites here.
In 2025 we have 2 exciting Camps for All events for young people to join:
24 – 26 October, join us at our Lockerbrook centre, beautifully situation right in the middle of the Peak District with stunning views of the Lady Bower Reservoir. Participants will take part in bushcraft activities, cooperative challenges and games, exploring the local area and making new friendships. The centre is fitted out with dormitories with bunk beds and has a large recreational room with games, table tennis, craft space and a cosy indoor fire.
14 – 16 November, Camps for All will be heading to Heightgate near to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. The centre has dormitories and a large heated barn where we can enjoy games and activities in all weathers. Over the weekend we will take part in bushcraft activities (fire lighting and whittling), a walk across the area of outstanding natural beauty up to Stoodly Pike, pizza making, making new friends and cooperative games and challenges.
Adventurous and fun activities
Our Camps for All camping and residential activities will be delivered by experienced Woodcraft Folk staff and dedicated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers. We will often take part in adventurous activities such as canoeing, weasling and crate stacking that will be instructor led.
The events will include exploring the surrounding areas of natural beauty around our centres, playing co-operative games, making new friendships, taking part in workshops around social change and children’s rights, enjoying adventurous activities and spending our evenings around the campfire.
