The gentle way to prepare your students for their first residential

First Night Away is a supervised overnight camp — on your school grounds.

Designed to give children their first taste of a night away before their school residential, First Night Away takes the anxiety out of the residential; children who’ve already spent a night away arrive at the trip calmer, less likely to get homesick, and more likely to have fun. First Night Away develops your children’s independence and resilience in a fun, safe, nurturing environment.

Camp runs on your school field, so there’s no travel cost.

Highlights of the evening include:

  • Team games and challenges to start the evening
  • Mini-beast hunting
  • Learn to pitch our tents
  • Cooked dinner all together, campsite-style
  • Campfire songs/talent show
  • Sleeping bags, pjs, teddy, surrounded by friends
  • Breakfast & hot chocolate in the morning to wake up happy
