At First Hand Education we offer both day and residential camps for children based on the simple idea that the best way to learn something is by doing it! We think that hands-on activities are also fun activities, so you might find us gathering seeds in the woods in autumn, exploring a magnificent castle in winter, feeding lambs in spring or fishing for trout in summer.
Our unique programmes follow seasonal themes which provide the framework for children to ask big questions and make important connections. To help make these links, the children learn a musical accompaniment that tells the story of the week, which they then share in a vibrant and celebratory performance for their parents and friends on Friday.
