Frequently Asked Questions
Can I being food?
Yes you can bring food, we supply toasting marshmallows and a drink, however if you would like to bring other food you can do. The children are often engrossed in being wild in the woods and may not want an awful lots therefore we always advise to not do a big buffet style as you maybe wasting your money.
Can I bring a cake?
Yes of course! when we are toasting marshmallows and having drinks at the end we often sign happy birthday around the campfire.
Are there toilets?
No, we don’t have permeant toilets in the woods we recommend getting the children to go to the loo before hand. The odd wild wee is allowed and we have a bucket toilet in case of desperation. In the school holidays when our forest camp is running we do have a builders toilet.
