Boughton Woods sits off the A43 three miles north of Kettering, an easy journey from Northamptonshire and the counties around it. Camp Wilderness runs a three-day family bushcraft camp here: two nights under canvas in a safari-style tented village, with children from six upwards taking part alongside the adults in their family. Everything is bushcraft based — fire-lighting, wilderness cookery, shelter building, camp craft, wilderness first aid and scenario exercises. Meals are cooked on site by field cooks and eaten communally around the central campfire. Drop-off is at 10am and pick-up at 3pm.

3 Day Family Camp
6–16 yrs · B1–C2Price from
A two-night family camp in Northamptonshire woodland. Families work through bushcraft challenges together — lighting fires, cooking in the open, building shelters and running scenario exercises — and sleep under canvas in a safari-style tented village.
Instructor-led bushcraft sessions run across the three days: fire-lighting, wilderness cookery, shelter building, camp craft, wilderness first aid, scenario SOS and advanced skills. Every session is designed to be accessible from the age of six upwards, so families with children of different ages work together rather than splitting up. Evenings are spent around the central campfire with stories, marshmallows and hot chocolate. Staff lead the technical parts and stay on camp overnight.
Family bushcraft, teamwork and time outdoors together.
