Summer Activity Week
August 2020

We can't run our annual summer camp at Trill Farm in Devon this year. Unfortunately, current guidelines state that educational trips that include overnight stays are not allowed. But the good news is that non-residential educational activities are. So we’ve put together a brilliant programme of activities to run right here in Surrey over four days from 17-20 August.
We’ve tried to capture some of the essence of our summer camp – with equine sessions, cookery workshops, organic gardening, woodland walks and campfires. We’ve even arranged for one the fabulous Trill Farm tutors, Sam, to join us and run some leatherwork sessions. We’ve also built in plenty of downtime where the young people can just relax and enjoy their surrounding or play games.
On the final day we'll be with the fabulous Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development team at High Ashurst for some fun on the high ropes and climbing walls.
We’ll do our best to make the week special and enjoyable for everyone and it will hopefully provide the lift that we all so desperately need after the challenges of the last few months.
How to take part
Registration is now open. If you would more information before registering a young person for the activity week please email us or to register, please complete our online registration form by Wednesday 12 August latest.
