The UK’s best summer camps for kids

Outdoor activity stays offer plenty fun stuff, from kayaking and climbing to ice-cream making and real-life Cluedo. And sometimes mum and dad can go too

Camp Kernow was founded in 2008 as a not-for-profit organisation aiming to reconnect children with nature. This summer, kids can spend six days off-grid on the 80-hectare estate near Truro, Cornwall. They will ascend to the canopy of a beech tree on a technical tree-climbing workshop; forge a toasting fork for marshmallows with the help of a blacksmith; go foraging in the hedgerows with a wild food expert; and navigate for themselves on a river kayaking expedition … Campers eat home-cooked food that they have helped to harvest from the kitchen garden and helped prepare in the field kitchen, and sleep in a yurt, bell tent, dome or upturned boat hull.
