Camp Wildfire runs a weekend sleepaway in United Kingdom. We file it under classic sleepaway. It's in this directory because it's a real camp, with bunks and a schedule and the whole apparatus, built for adults on purpose.
The UK's benchmark adult summer camp, staged in a heritage pine forest 40 minutes from London and once pitched on Dragons' Den. Campers join patrols and choose from 100+ daytime activities, from axe throwing to raft building, before nights of bands, DJs, and comedy. Both 2026 weekends sold out in record time.
The experience
The format: weekend sleepaway camp-festival, two weekends per year. The weekend length keeps the ask small. Arrive Friday, hand your schedule to someone else, be home by Monday. Adults only, which changes the tone more than you might expect. Everyone there chose it for themselves.
Cost
Published price: roughly £200-350 per weekend. That's the cheap end of the market, where most all-inclusive weekends run $400 to $1,000. Cheap here usually means volunteers or subsidy, not corner-cutting. Check what the ticket covers before comparing camps. Whether lodging, meals, and transport are bundled moves the true cost more than the ticket price does.
Where and when
The venue is in secret pine forest near Sevenoaks, Kent, United Kingdom, UK. The current schedule: 2026: Aug 28-31 and Sep 4-7 (both sold out; 2027 registration open).
