What are themed camps?

Themed camps are experiences built around one particular subject or passion.

They give you a chance to learn, to explore and to spend time with people who care about the same thing.

Unlike a general camp, these programmes are put together around one clear field.

The point is to take a passion further, pick up new skills or simply come away with something worth remembering.

There are plenty of themed camps, sorted by interest and by what they set out to do.

Types of themed camp

Creative camps

Writing, art, photography, music or another way of saying something.

Learning camps

Learning by doing, and picking up skills you did not have.

Themed adventure camps

Outdoor activities put together around a particular theme.

Wellness camps

Winding down, looking after your health and finding your balance.

Hobby camps

Experiences given over to whatever you already love doing.

Specialist camps

Programmes built around one particular set of skills.

The shape of it follows the theme, but there is usually hands-on work and time with the others.
