Adventure Camping Weekends

The camping weekends are designed for boys in year 5, 6, 7 & 8  and dads (or a significant adult male) to spend quality time together, building a positive relationship. The weekend is packed with fun and activities including climbing, raft building and kayaking.


Held during spring, summer and autumn, they are designed to cater for up to twelve man and boy pairs.  MAN&BOY provide transport to the camp-site and all the camping equipment necessary for the weekend. (Log-cabins are used in the autumn and spring).

 

There are 3 main activities during the weekend led by a team of outdoor instructors and we encourage participation in all activities as much as you are able to. Food is provided.

 

Safety is of the utmost importance to the MAN&BOY team and precautions have been taken to ensure that the risk of harm or injury occurring to anyone taking part in the weekend is minimised. Please note however that the father/guardian has ultimate responsibility for the safety of his boy.

 

 

We want to

  • Raise self-esteem in boys
  • Support and encourage men as role models
  • Empower boys to reach their full potential in school, work, and family, and to contribute positively in their local communities.

 

We value

  • Family and the role of the father
  • Acting honestly and with integrity
  • Taking personal responsibility
  • Believing in people
  • Enabling others to achieve their full potential

It is my pleasure to be able to provide you with a testimonial/reference regarding this service which we have enjoyed in kingston for some years now. Trevor is very well regarded by the kingston schools who have used the programme and it has been reported that there have been some noticeable improvements in pupils’ engagement in their education. Funding has been through comic relief, personal development trust and kingston family learning and therefore, depending on the circumstances of each referral, a full or partial bursary has been available. We have encouraged schools to use the pp grant where appropriate in order to ensure access is as inclusive as possible. I would be happy to provide any further information you may need.  I would recommend man and boy to you unreservedly.
