This wild day-camp is is made possible by ‘Stand for Nature Wales’, a Wales-wide project looking to empower young people to take action for nature and climate. The camp is funded by the People’s Postcode Lottery players and the National Lottery Community Fund through the Climate Action Fund.
Five whole days jam-packed with a variety of activities such as bug hunting, improvisation, creative writing, bird box making and wildlife recording!
As if that’s not exciting enough, participants will work together to produce a show with a climate and wildlife theme that will highlight their experience during the week. The final result of this day-camp will be an exhibition, providing participants with a platform to share their passion for wildlife and amplify their voice about climate issues!
A variety of artwork, which was created during the Wild Ideas events that have taken place across North Powys over the past two years, will also be displayed at the exhibition. The camp aims to spark a debate in our youth that moves us towards simple, community solutions that carry nature and Welsh culture into the future.
The camp is set to take place at The Willow Globe, near Rhayader, from Monday the 1st of August to Friday the 5th of August. The Willow Globe is an outdoor living theatre, surrounded by wildflower areas, woodlands, and many other magical hidden places that the participants can explore in their search for inspiration.
