Active Adventure Oxford kids adventure camp

This Adventure camp in Oxford is based at Summer Fields school. Our children’s Active Adventure Camps are for children aged from 6  to 14 years and have a wide range of outdoor fun activities for kids to enjoy during the school holidays.

Summer Fields School is an independent preparatory day and boarding school  boys, set amongst 70 acres of outdoor space in the heart of Summertown. The Camp features a selection of  woodland area, climbing wall and a lake.

Your children will get a real sense of the outdoors through orienteering, bush-craft and outdoor activities, all designed to increase confidence, boost independence, and build teamwork skills. The Camp is predominantly outdoors, come rain or shine, we do have access to the school sports hall for wet weather days but we often opt to operate under canvas or even a makeshift shelter built from logs, moss, and anything else nature can provide.
