Armed Forces Camps
Mental Health Awareness, Resilience and Respite for the Entire Team
Utilising over 70 years of experience in outdoor living, skills & knowledge in woodland, land & water based activities. Assisting mental and physical wellbeing.
The Armed Forces and Veteran community camps have been created to provide a unique opportunity for them and their families to be in a safe conversational environment. Being safe allows the mind to be at ease, and with like-minded others around, the safety net envelopes the group. Great and enlightening discussions are had, sometimes for the first time, relenquishing barriers and the stigma of not talking and being weak. Families embrace this environment too, allowing their children to realise why mum or dad are the way they are, as they are not alone.
As with all camps. They run from 1900hrs Friday to 1200hrs Sunday, this includes all and any activities provided to assist our program, food from breakfast Saturday to breakfast Sunday, and tented accommodation available on site for up to 24 guests. Parking is limited on site so car sharing is advised.
The Woodland Xperience Ethos
We all stare at the dancing flames, hypnotic as they are. If we could read them they would be telling their own stories and adventures!
Taking time out from the treadmill of work and life is fundamental in maintaining a balanced healthy mind and body. People from all walks of life experience traumas and conflict which can have a detrimental effect on our mental and physical health. Which in turn is then put to one side but boils away within us without us sometimes knowing, ready to explode at any trigger affecting close family, friends, relationships, work and unconsciously ourselves.
Building on and considering research, thoughts, and findings of others together with personal experiences of prolonged exposure to the outdoors, Woodland Xperiences was created, to assist with Post Traumatic Growth.
