Hello happy campers!We’re brushing off the winter cobwebs and opening for the season on April 3rd with our Easter Weekender ✨
We’ll be rolling up our sleeves for a mix of:
🌱 Site tidying
🌼 Gardening
🔨 Fixing small repairs
🎨 Painting
…and all the little jobs that help bring the land back to life.
If you’re able to, please bring your own tools and gloves. We have some on site, but likely not enough for everyone.
Got firewood, spare timber, paints or craft materials gathering dust? We’d love to give them a new purpose through up-cycling ♻️
We’ll keep you fuelled with:
☕ Tea station throughout the day
🥣 A nourishing campfire soup
🔥 A cosy log-burner sound bath to end the day warm and grounded
This is a lovely taster opportunity for anyone considering volunteering with us over the summer ☀️
With love,
The Wild Retreat Crew
