New Forest Teens Camps - Foxlease Park, New Forest. England
INTRODUCTION
This adventure camp gives young people the chance to unplug from screens and dive into an active, outdoor lifestyle in the heart of the New Forest in England. Set on a 65‑acre site surrounded by wild horses and lush woodland, the camp is designed for ages 12–17 who want to push their limits, try new challenges, and build strong friendships in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
Over 1–2 weeks, campers take part in a dynamic mix of outdoor activities that balance physical challenge with teamwork and creativity. From navigating high‑ropes and zip lines to conquering inflatable water‑park obstacles, every day is structured to help teens grow more confident, independent, and comfortable working with others.
The camp offers pure outdoor adventure and excursions with a focus on personal development and group spirit. Every participant will leave with memories, skills, and stories from their time in the New Forest.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Campers stay in comfortable, dormitory‑style accommodation at a residential site right in the heart of the New Forest, set across a 65‑acre woodland park. The accommodation is spread across three main residential buildings, each offering shared dormitory rooms and communal spaces designed to encourage social interaction and a strong camp‑life atmosphere.
Staff stay within the accommodation block or nearby to provide overnight support without sharing rooms, with regular night-time checks to make sure everyone is safe and resting. Boys and girls are housed in separate rooms. Our team is always nearby—day and night.
Staff are DBS-checked and receive intensive training before camp begins. This includes safeguarding, emergency response, and first aid training, so they’re fully prepared to care for your child in every situation.
The rooms are simple but welcoming, with shared dorm setup and basic furnishings to keep the focus on the outdoor experience.
All campers are provided with full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, as well as drinks, so families don’t need to worry about meals during their stay.
The site includes large outdoor areas for activities, open spaces to relax, and secure, supervised facilities that support our safety‑first approach. This combination of comfortable residential buildings and expansive natural surroundings creates the ideal setting for an unforgettable summer‑camp experience.
THE ACTIVITIES
This adventure camp centres around more than 15 exciting outdoor activities that challenge teens physically and mentally while building confidence and cooperation. Campers can test their skills on the climbing wall and bouldering wall, conquer high‑ropes and zip lines, and boost their teamwork through raft building and pioneering challenges.
Water‑based activities include canoeing and kayaking on calm stretches of water, plus the chance to tackle an inflatable water‑park obstacle course, which is perfect for high‑energy fun and group bonding. Land‑based adventures include mountain biking along forest trails, geocaching, crate‑stacking challenges, and the Nightline, a low‑light team‑navigation activity that adds a touch of excitement to the evening program.
Campers also enjoy classic camp traditions such as campfires, campfire cooking, tunnelling, and archery, all led by experienced instructors and fully risk‑assessed for safety. These activities are designed to help young people step outside their comfort zones, try something new, and build strong friendships that last long after the camp ends.

LOCATION & GETTING HERE
LOCATION
The camp is located in the heart of the New Forest, a beautiful woodland and heathland area in southern England known for its open spaces, ancient trees, and wild ponies roaming freely. The site itself sits on a 65‑acre park, giving campers direct access to forests, trails, and open fields where most activities take place.
Nearby towns such as Lyndhurst offer small shops, cafés, and local services, while the wider New Forest region is rich in natural beauty and outdoor‑recreation opportunities, including walking paths, cycling routes, and family‑friendly attractions. This makes the camp not only a base for adventure but also a great starting point for exploring the surrounding countryside during excursions.
The area’s mix of native woodland, heath and river landscapes provides a scenic and inspiring backdrop for a summer‑camp experience. Campers are immersed in nature for two weeks, while still being within reach of transport links and local amenities for any special needs or planned visits.
Getting Here
Families travelling within the UK can use a dedicated shuttle bus service that runs between selected pick‑up points and the camp site, making arrival and departure easier and more convenient. The exact pick‑up locations and timetable vary by date, so parents are encouraged to contact the camp team for current details and to confirm availability.
For international families, the camp offers return airport transfers from a number of major UK airports, including Southampton, Heathrow, Gatwick and Bournemouth. These transfers are provided at an additional cost, and schedules are adjusted to flight times, although very early or very late arrivals may incur an extra fee.
This flexible transport setup ensures that campers from both the UK and overseas can reach the New Forest site safely and with minimal stress.
