Fire lighting, archery, shelter building and fireside stories will all be on offer to Camp Wilderness kids in Kent this summer.

The summer camp provider is holding three-day residential stays for children aged six to 15 at Penshurst Place.

Described as giving children the opportunity to 'unplug and have some old-fashioned summer fun' Camp Wilderness allows youngsters to camp in ancient woodland, build and cook over open fires, try new pursuits and make new friends.
