FRIDAY EVENING

Arrival Day

We kick our weekends off by meeting at our HQ in the centre of Newquay at 6pm for a warm welcome from your hosts for the weekend. After the hellos and introductions are done with the rest of your group, and the weekend plan has been set, you’ll head up to our wild camp for your first evening of woodland shenanigans! If you are planning to get to us by public transport, we can help you lift share with another adventurer!

Your hosts will give you the camp tour and you then have the evening to settle in and become accustomed to Wild Camp Living! After a quick introduction to the camp, you’ll want to settle into your shared Bell tent (air bed provided) before the evening activities begin. Complete with a hand built games area, Axe throwing zone and sheltered communicable Fire Pit, you’ll spend your time getting to know everyone, and designating the camp chef for the following evening!

Your hosts are with you all weekend so if you have any questions about the weekend make sure you check in with them for any assistance, whether it’s logistics or something more technical about your activities they are sure to be able to help you out.

The weekends weather, tide and surf conditions will decide which activities we schedule for the morning or afternoon, so come prepared for either surfing or coasteering. The below description should give you a good idea of how a typical itinerary plays out. Once we’ve all meet each other, it’s time to grab a wetsuit and surfboard for the first of the weekend’s surf lessons. Whether you are experienced or it’s your first time, our surf coaches are on hand to offer advice and guide you throughout your surfing lesson.

95% of people who join us are brand new to surfing, so don’t worry if you think you’ll be the only person who hasn’t tried surfing – – you’ll be in good company!

You’ll have plenty of time between activities to grab some lunch, take a stroll around Newquay’s many surf shops or head back to our base and hang out in the garden. Newquay has a great vibe during the summer with plenty to look at, just ask us for some recommendations on where to go and what to see.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON

After lunch it’s time for the afternoon’s activity, coasteering. Once your group is kitted out you’ll take a short walk over to our coasteering location, commonly known as the ‘Gazzle’.

The wild camp is a lovingly crafted space in our own private woodlands set on a working dairy farm in the heart of Cornwall. After a quick introduction to the camp, you’ll want to settle into your shared Bell tent (air bed & pillow provided) before the evening activities begin.
