A Day at Our Guildford Holiday Camp

Our Owlstanding team is ready to take your adventurer out for a full day of exploration, learning, and play in our forest! No two days are the same but a typical day will include a morning adventure to an area of the woods, a forest-school session, group games, mindfulness moments, and imaginative play. See further activities below and on our instagram!

In our morning circle time we plan our day with the children and include activities that fit with their interests along with some set activities our special team have planned. We provide your child with a stimulating and nurturing environment where they have the freedom to express themselves, make friends, and just be in nature. We can’t guarantee they won’t get a little bit muddy, but the memories they make will be more than worth it!

Food & Snacks

A day outdoors is a full day and children require lots of energy to keep them playing and exploring. All children must bring a hearty packed lunch which we have at noon. We will provide children with a healthy afternoon snack (veg sticks/ rice cake) between 2 - 2:30pm.

All food brought to camp must be nut free.

Dressing for the great Owldoors!

We don’t believe in bad weather, just in the wrong clothing! To make sure your adventurer is ready for their time with us we will provide you with a full kit list in your booking confirmation email, sharing how to dress your child and what to bring in a bag each day.

Please ensure all clothing and other items are clearly labelled.

  • Once a place is booked it is non refundable. However, we understand sometimes life throws up planning alterations and therefore if you wish to cancel over 2 weeks in advance, you will receive credit to book another day within 12 months. We are unable to credit booking cancellations within 2 weeks for any reason.

  • Depending on activities on the day, your child may have a take home to show you. We also ask families to inform us of permission to post pictures/ videos on our social media - so you might get lucky to see your child there. Due to administrative time restraints and focus on ensuring children have great days we are unable to share individual photos/ videos to individual families.

  • Yes, our team will ensure children pace themselves throughout the day. We have morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks plus throughout the day in children have the time to relax in nature in between activities.

  • We understand children and we know challenging behavior is often the result of unmet needs by the child. We are experts in tuning in to individuals’ needs and giving them the personal, social, and emotional support they require to feel safe & secure.

  • Should the weather get stormy or there be particularly high winds we have contingency plans in place where we can spend time in open spaces away from trees and if necessary we have indoor cabin space which we can access. Fortunately, our weather is pretty stable and it is a very rare occurrence that we need to head indoors. If for any reason we need to cancel any part or full day due to weather we will inform you asap.

  • We are Ofsted Registered and our team is highly experienced in safe outdoor education. We perform daily risk assessments to ensure our environment is ready for fun and we have team members First Aid trained.
