Lammas Family Adventure Camp
with Melissa Holloway and Jacqui Banks
August 19th-22nd, 2016
‘We loved family camp - we were interested in low impact living and looking for a nature filled family holiday, so ventured down to Lammas for family camp. It was life-changing - the kids had a fabulous time with us and off on adventures. We all made lots of like minded friends, learnt loads about low impact living and fuelled up a fire in our hearts that has never gone away. We regularly tell friends and people we meet how wonderful Lammas is. Their ears must always be burning. I highly recommend it. The food was amazing, the setting idyllic, the people beautiful and welcoming’
A glowing review from one of the families who came on camp a few years ago. This will be our fourth Family Adventure Camp here at Lammas and we really enjoy welcoming families to our beautiful community building to enjoy some time away together. The camp is run by Melissa who is a Lammas resident and a Forest School leader with Jacqui who has a One Planet Development plot next door to Lammas where her and her partner are setting up a tree nursery.
It is a great opportunity for people who are interested to come and experience a few days of off grid living, to meet some of the residents here and have a go at some activities such as cob building and basket weaving.
Parents will also have the opportunity to find out more about One Planet Development if they are interested. This is the policy that allows low impact development here in Wales. We can fill you in on the practicalities as well as the policy requirements for such a development.
It is perfect for anyone considering a low impact lifestyle to get a taster with their whole family and also for people who would like to see how the Lammas site itself is developing after six years of hard work.
We would like to offer anyone who receives the newsletter a special offer: if you quote ‘LammasNL07/16’ when you book you can have the ‘early bird price’ at any time. See lammas.org.uk/courses for more details.
