Welcome to Woodland Xperiences

Being outdoors and closer to nature is good for you, your mind your business, your families. At ​Woodland Xperiences, we profoundly believe in the enlivening, recuperative and therapeutic power of getting back to nature with woodland and adventurous activities on land and water. We are experienced in creating and hosting a safe conversational environment to assist  Mental & Physical health, Isolation, Wellbeing, Support & Family engagement. We are committed to helping those working within the forces, veterans, the emergency services and not forgetting their families. 
Outdoor learning and its environment has a proven effect in relieving stress, anxiety and other medical conditions brought on from various exposures to our modern lifestyles, Education and Careers. Through Woodland Experiences we would like to share our knowledge, experiences and skills with others, so that they may also benefit from the outdoors, enhancing education, College assignments and engagement via woodland and adventurous based activities. 
All profit from the educational, engagement and corporate camps assists the ongoing provision of the veterans, serving, Blue light services and families camps .
Woodland Xperiences is expanding its provision due to the ongoing hard work and commitment from all staff and volunteers alike.  We have negotiated another venue to operate from in Cumbria. More developments to follow as we progress.
Woodland Xperiences farming project is located  on a breath taking venue with amazing veteran support.
Frank and his family has allowed us to set up and run our project in memory of Caz, other fallen soldiers and those that struggle now.
 "Out of the Dark came light, out of the light came Strength"
Piper Hole is a working farm so be prepared for the usual farm yard sights and smells ect, sheep, goats, chickens, rescue donky and a pony (biscuit). If farming is your potential method of assisting recovery then consider the Community Lottery funded Veterans farming experience .

"Woodland Xperience has given me hope that I don't need to feel alone I am looking forward to my next weekend with them.  I wouldn't have been feeling so much more positive if I hadn't gone on this weekend. I really had a very bad time before this and things were not going good in my life. Thank Woodland Xperiences for being there for me". J.P

"Wow i heard one veteran say to another. over the weekend we were entertained no matter the weather, we took part in various activities such as axe throwing, Target shooting and forgotten woodland skills all rotated around the keggle that boiled away for endless brews. Everyone came away relaxed and ready for another day and didn''t want to leave. We have booked two more camps for next year. Don't miss out on an amazing adventure for veterans and their families. Thanks you all at Woodland Xperiences".

"My COPD, depression and lonelines used to tie me to my bed, feeling I can't do anything. That's not the case now and being in camp has given me connections of other groups that I can go to a few days a week"CH

"I had a bad PTSD episode during one of the nights at camp, which usually would ruin the next week for me psychologically and drain me physically, but having breakfast around the fire and being able to talk with my fellow veterans (and yvonne) grounded me again"
