In the 4th edition of our Updates from HQ we start the countdown to Camp (just 7 weeks to go!) and its heads down to launch our brand new enrolment system and then get into the forest to build everything!
😊 Company & People 😊
We welcomed another new starter this week, Atalya who has joined as Event Assistant & Customer Support. This brings the team to 9 full time and 1 part time which still feels like a very small team for the amount of things we are trying to cover, but definitely better than this time last year when we were only 6!
⭐ If you’d like to join Team Wildkind we have a permanent role for a Social Content & Community Marketing Manager. The deadline for applications is THIS WEEKEND! ⭐
🏕️ Events 🏕️
The Woodshed 🔥🎸
We will be adding a new entertainment space this year called The Woodshed. Situated near the campfire in Basecamp, this space will be our take on a cosy old fashioned woodshed, well lived in by the firemaster who likes to entertain his guests with a programme of folk, blues, jazz, storytelling and a few quirkier ideas we have 😜 There will also be some open mic sessions for the performers in the community that have been requesting space to perform!
Bigger General Camping 🌱
We’re moving crew camping which will make more space available in general camping!
For those of you who have followed our story over the last few years, this means we are back in the business of growing grass 😂 Conditions have been much better this year though so the crew should have a lush meadow to bed down in.
Socials 🤝
We’ve put together some social programmes to help you all get to know one another early in the weekend. Starting this year with Solo Attendees and LGBTQ+ Attendees.
We’ve put together some social programmes to help you all get to know one another early in the weekend. Starting this year with Solo Parents and Youths (see below).
There’s also going to be Social Seating and other areas around camp designed to prompt new connections for everyone attending.Details for the socials will be in Enrolment so keep an eye out for them.
Firestarter Programme 🔥
This is a brand new programme just for Youths! Designed to help them get to know each other, and spend time together over the weekend away from the younger kids. It kicks off with a social on the Friday night that you can drop them off at, followed by a series of Youth only activities across Sat and Sun. All the details will be in Enrolment.
