Camping at South Hetton
A low-cost alternative
Why did the South Hetton Learning
Away partnership choose camping?
 Our context:
 East Durham communities
 Limited learning away experiences (or any ‘away
from home experiences for many children)
 Wanting to promote ‘family’ values
 Our ethos:
 Promote life skills to create well-rounded children
with a range of abilities
 Child-led learning approach already embedded into
our curriculum
Where did we start?
1. Equipment
 Central stock based in Easington Colliery Primary School
 Pod tents
 Sleeping bags
 Roll mats
 Cooking utensils
 Small stoves
 School based stock
 Additional sleeping bags/roll mats
 Bell tents
 Chairs
 Outdoor first aid kits
 Waterproofs
 ‘Spares’ e.g. torches, toothbrushes, blankets, etc.
Where did we start?
2. Training
 Initially or staff weren’t keen!
 We launched the PHF Learning Away programme
by having an outdoor learning and camping
experience at Weardale House for staff in all three
of our partnership primary schools
 Staff took part in a range of outdoor activities
including bushcraft, high ropes course, problem
solving and teambuilding challenges, and shelter
building
 … and we all camped!
3. Further training
 Food hygiene
 Volunteer walker leader training
 Outdoor first aid
 Introduction to Forest Schools
 Family camping course – teaching children and
their families how to camp
 Food/cooking
 Health and safety
 Bushcraft
 Setting up, maintaining and striking camp
 Games and entertainment
Time to ‘fess up’ …what went wrong?
 Our first camps - Moor House September and October 2010
 Were too close together! We had no time to sort out, clean up and
pack away equipment properly before passing on to the next school
 Transporting equipment to and from camp
 Our first joint camp – transition project Yearr 6 to Year 7,
Kielder 2011
 Overambitious with numbers (150 children + 25 staff)
 Lack of communication on camp between the four schools involved
 Too many activities on timetable
 Creepy crawlies
 The Great British weather!
 Finding appropriate venues – led us to create an educational
visits directory
So why are we still camping?
 Staff confidence has improved and residentials are being planned
largely independently by staff in school. Learning Away leaders have
taken on a more advisory role
 It has led to LOtC being embedded across the curriculum
 Greater use has been made of the schools grounds, immediate locality
and areas of interest in the region
 Learning in context - camping increasingly combines curriculum and
‘real life’ skills (great for geography which is so often neglected!)
 Brilliant for those children who are not typically ‘academic’
 Training up to two children per year from Years 2-6 as ‘Learning Away
Leaders’ (Learning Away training camp May 2012)
 Camping opportunities are now identified in yearly planning
 Camping is an affordable opportunity that all of our children can access
Sustainability
and our plans for the future
 Very low cost now that we have our own equipment – we can
afford to keep going
 Staff have received training both in school and externally to
improve confidence
 Greater appreciation of what’s on our doorstep (including the
school grounds)
 Further embedding LOtC in our curriculum
 Plans to develop a ‘Rent a Tent’ scheme for family residentials

Camping residential programmes - a low cost alternative (South Hetton Learning Away partnership)

  • 1. Camping at South Hetton A low-cost alternative
  • 2. Why did the South Hetton Learning Away partnership choose camping?  Our context:  East Durham communities  Limited learning away experiences (or any ‘away from home experiences for many children)  Wanting to promote ‘family’ values  Our ethos:  Promote life skills to create well-rounded children with a range of abilities  Child-led learning approach already embedded into our curriculum

  • 4. Where did we start? 1. Equipment  Central stock based in Easington Colliery Primary School  Pod tents  Sleeping bags  Roll mats  Cooking utensils  Small stoves  School based stock  Additional sleeping bags/roll mats  Bell tents  Chairs  Outdoor first aid kits  Waterproofs  ‘Spares’ e.g. torches, toothbrushes, blankets, etc.
  • 5. Where did we start? 2. Training  Initially or staff weren’t keen!  We launched the PHF Learning Away programme by having an outdoor learning and camping experience at Weardale House for staff in all three of our partnership primary schools  Staff took part in a range of outdoor activities including bushcraft, high ropes course, problem solving and teambuilding challenges, and shelter building  … and we all camped!
  • 6. 3. Further training  Food hygiene  Volunteer walker leader training  Outdoor first aid  Introduction to Forest Schools  Family camping course – teaching children and their families how to camp  Food/cooking  Health and safety  Bushcraft  Setting up, maintaining and striking camp  Games and entertainment

  • 8. Time to ‘fess up’ …what went wrong?  Our first camps - Moor House September and October 2010  Were too close together! We had no time to sort out, clean up and pack away equipment properly before passing on to the next school  Transporting equipment to and from camp  Our first joint camp – transition project Yearr 6 to Year 7, Kielder 2011  Overambitious with numbers (150 children + 25 staff)  Lack of communication on camp between the four schools involved  Too many activities on timetable  Creepy crawlies  The Great British weather!  Finding appropriate venues – led us to create an educational visits directory
  • 9. So why are we still camping?  Staff confidence has improved and residentials are being planned largely independently by staff in school. Learning Away leaders have taken on a more advisory role  It has led to LOtC being embedded across the curriculum  Greater use has been made of the schools grounds, immediate locality and areas of interest in the region  Learning in context - camping increasingly combines curriculum and ‘real life’ skills (great for geography which is so often neglected!)  Brilliant for those children who are not typically ‘academic’  Training up to two children per year from Years 2-6 as ‘Learning Away Leaders’ (Learning Away training camp May 2012)  Camping opportunities are now identified in yearly planning  Camping is an affordable opportunity that all of our children can access

  • 12. Sustainability and our plans for the future  Very low cost now that we have our own equipment – we can afford to keep going  Staff have received training both in school and externally to improve confidence  Greater appreciation of what’s on our doorstep (including the school grounds)  Further embedding LOtC in our curriculum  Plans to develop a ‘Rent a Tent’ scheme for family residentials
