Our diverse and educational five-day residential course includes a range of activities, focusing on the theme of nature and conservation.

Set in Flatford Mill at the heart of Constable Country in Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this course includes visits to the local RSPB sites, as well as surveying sites and habitats.

Learn about the wildlife of the riverbank on a canoeing journey, experience the flora and fauna on a spectacular walk, take part in a local conservation project, and try out a range of bushcraft skills in the local woodland.
