Is your family up to the challenge of our Family Warrior Camp? 

This will be the third year of our Family Warrior Camps, back by popular demand! This exclusive opportunity to stay overnight at Butser Ancient Farm, whilst learning ancient survival skills and bonding as a family, is not to be missed! 

We have designed these weekends for whole families, or a parent with one or two children and as you will be responsible for your children we have not set any age limits. (we ask for a maximum of two children per adult in your family group, and you remain responsible for your child at all times during the weekend)

Family Warrior Camp is offering the challenges of Iron Age living but using some modern materials as well. Activities will include shelter building, open fire lighting and cooking, making rope bridges, simple raft building, working cooperatively, walking in the countryside and most importantly enjoying thirty six hours of your family working together towards a common goal.

If you would like to know more details please call the farm on 02392 598838 or email admin@butserancientfarm.co.uk
