With spacious accommodation, attentive supervision, and a team of friendly, qualified instructors, every day is designed for fun, learning, and confidence-building. 🏖 Key Details Location: Porthpean, Cornwall Duration: 5-night camps with optional 2-night stays Age Group: 8–14 years Accommodation: Bunkhouse tents with bedding included Supervision: 24-hour support from qualified staff 🌊 What to Expect Campers can choose between 5-night and 2-night stays, each packed with activity and adventure. On arrival, children settle into their bunkhouse tents, meet the instructors, and get familiar with the site and beach. 2-night campers experience a condensed version of the full programme, enjoying a combination of water sports, land-based challenges, and creative sessions, while 5-night campers get the full range of activities plus excursions and extended evening programmes. Water-based activities include kayaking along calm waters and sea caves, paddleboarding solo or on our large Mega SUPs, coasteering with safe rock scrambles and jumps, and surfing under expert guidance. These sessions focus on skill development, teamwork, and confidence, giving children the chance to try new experiences safely and have fun at the same time. Land-based challenges complement the water activities. Campers can navigate the high ropes course, tackle climbing walls of varying difficulty, try archery and axe throwing, or participate in survival skills and bushcraft sessions including fire-making and shelter-building. Arts and crafts provide a creative outlet with t-shirt design, paint spinning, and hands-on projects. Evening activities differ for 2-night and 5-night campers; shorter stays may include a single campfire or games session, while longer stays enjoy silent discos, Colour War events, team challenges, and extended social activities that foster friendships. Excursions such as trips to the Eden Project are included in the 5-night programme, giving campers the chance to explore Cornwall’s iconic attractions and learn about its natural environment. No two days are the same, and both 2-night and 5-night stays provide opportunities to build confidence, try new skills, and form lasting friendships in a safe and supportive environment. The programme is flexible, allowing children to choose their participation level in adventurous acti… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Full participation in all activities (land and water-based) All meals and snacks (dietary needs catered for) Accommodation in our luxury bunkhouse tents All necessary safety equipment and instructor-led sessions Evening entertainment and excursions (e.g., the Eden Project) 24-hour supervision and care from DBS-checked staff ### What’s not included Transport to and from, although you can add a chaperone service from nearby transport hubs ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Do you offer transportation?

At Camp Cornwall, we focus on enjoying the great outdoors. We encourage campers to leave their mobile phones and tablets in secure lockers during the day to fully engage in activities. Phones are allowed during evening "chill-out" time, where your child can call home in a designated private space. Outside of this time, phones should be stored in lockers. If you need to reach your child during the day, our Duty Manager is available 24/7 for emergencies. Children on day camps must leave their phones in lockers for the entire day. ### What should my child bring to camp? For overnight camps, we recommend packing the following: Comfortable clothes for outdoor activities Swimwear, towel, and water shoes/sandals for water sports Waterproof jacket and trousers Warm layers for evenings Toiletries and personal hygiene items Two towels (one for water activities, one for showering) Sleeping bag and pillow (or duvets, pillows, and bottom sheets if not provided) Reusable water bottle Any necessary medication ### Are the staff qualified? Yes, all our activity instructors are fully qualified and trained to deliver adventurous activities safely. Staff are experienced in working with children and young people, and all are DBS-checked. Our senior management team has over 15 years of experience running camps. ### How are meals handled? We provide three meals a day plus snacks, and our menu is designed with children in mind. We cater to a wide range of dietary needs, including allergies, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. You will be asked to provide dietary requirements when booking, and we will double-check on arrival and before each meal. ### What time is drop-off and pick-up? Overnight Camps : Drop-off is at 5pm on the arrival day, and pick-up is at 12pm on the departure day. Day Camps : Drop-off is at 8:30am, and pick-up is at 5:30pm. We ask that you adhere to these times to ensure the smooth running of the camp. Early pickups can be arranged upon request with prior approval. We also offer a wraparound service from 7:30am to 6:30pm for day campers at an additional cost of £14 per day. ### What happens if my child feels homesick? Our staff are experienced in helping children who feel homesick. We provide plenty of support and encourage campers to engage in activities and make friends. If homesickness persists, we will contact you to discuss the best approach. We always ensure children feel safe and supported. ### What should I do if my child has food allergies or dietary restrictions? We take food allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. You will be asked to fill in an online form detailing any allergies or restrictions before camp, and we will confirm these on arrival. We work closely with our catering team to ensure all dietary needs are met safely. ### Can my child still participate in water activities if they are not a strong swimmer? Yes, all water-based activities are conducted with the use of buoyancy aids, and our instructors are trained to adapt the activities based on your child's comfort level in the water. Your child's safety is our priority. ### What happens if my child is nervous about an activity? We use a "Challenge by Choice" approach, meaning your child is encouraged to take part in activities at their own pace without pressure. Our staff are skilled at supporting children and building their confidence, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during every activity. ### How are sleeping arrangements made? Children are allocated to sleeping groups based on age and gender. If your child is attending with a friend, you can request to have them stay in the same group. Our bunkhouse tents are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for personal items. ### Can my child bring their own wetsuit? Yes, your child can bring their own wetsuit. However, please note that it will be stored with the camp's wetsuits and cannot be dried near their accommodation. We provide all necessary equipment for water activities, so bringing your own is optional. ### How do you handle medications? Our trained Matron is responsible for administering any prescribed medications your child needs. Please provide clear instructions, and we will ensure they are taken as required. For non-prescription medications like Calpol, we will only administer it with your written consent. ### What if my child needs to use the bathroom at night? Toilets are accessible throughout the night, with well-lit paths to guide children. Our night staff are on hand to assist campers if needed. Campers are also briefed on where facilities are located during their first day. ### Will my child have access to showers? Yes, we provide separate shower facilities for boys, girls, and staff. Each shower is in a private cubicle, and we have both indoor and outdoor showers, with outdoor showers being particularly popular. Showers are scheduled in the evening after the day’s activities. ### Can my child bring a comfort item like a soft toy? Absolutely! We encourage children to bring comfort items such as soft toys or blankets, especially if they are nervous about being away from home. However, we advise against bringing anything too valuable as it may get lost or damaged. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/d3db718a011f94f39dd49b576d785b08/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-09-27-122655.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
