Oxfordshire
This diverse woodland is filled with old oaks and beeches, as well as many younger plantations, creating a wonderful backdrop for our Bushcraft Camps.
There’s a wide range of outdoor activities, available at Blenheim all designed to enhance social and personal development, whilst having fun and learning new skills.
Our team will work with you to create a bespoke programme to suit your student’s ages and abilities, keeping them busy from the moment they arrive. Some of our favourites on offer are: Fire Lighting, Shelter Building, Camouflage and Concealment, Target Sports, Scenario SOS and many more!
Situated in the heart of the woodlands, each camp comprises of a large yurt and cosy campfire for mealtimes and talks, its own field kitchen, and safari-style bell tents to sleep in. There’s also single-sex porta-loos and on longer camps showers are also available.
Our Bushcraft Camps are run by a team of experienced Instructors, who will remain with your group and take care of the activities, mealtimes and pastoral care for your students for the entirety of their stay.
Found in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, Blenheim Woods is situated just over 10 miles from the M40 making it the perfect location for schools across Oxfordshire, Berkshire or Buckinghamshire.

The course delivery was excellent, the students had an excellent time and really enjoyed themselves whilst learning many new skills and made many new friends.
Camp leaders were engaging and informative, great personalities that mixed with the children well, brilliant at making sure everyone got as much out of the trip as possible.
The children had an amazing time. All of the staff were brilliant we couldn’t have asked for more.

We haven’t been to Bushcraft before, can we have a look around a site?
Yes, teachers can visit all our estates to get a feel for where the camps will take place. We recommend visits take place between May and October, as this gives you a chance to see what our estates look like when they’re running. In the winter, our woodlands look glorious however our camps and activities sites are all packed down! Please contact us and we can happily arrange a time for you to visit.
