FREE PLACES for young people thanks to Scotmid support
Woodcraft Folk, a leading organisation dedicated to providing empowering experiences for young people, has announced its inaugural Scottish camp will be held in West Lothian this May.
The camp will attract young people from across the country.
With funding from Scotmid, five free places are being made available for young adventurers from West Lothian to participate in this exciting event. The camp will take place from May 10th to 12th at The Craigs Campsite in West Lothian.
Woodcraft Folk’s ‘Camps for All’ initiative aims to create inclusive spaces where children aged 10-15 can develop confidence, learn about the world, and cultivate a deeper connection with nature and community.
Lauren Karstadt, Programme Manager for Woodcraft Folk, expressed her excitement, “We are looking forward to our first Scottish camp and are grateful to Scotmid for funding free places for local young people.
“Our events see young people come together, make friends, find common ground, and enjoy adventurous and fun activities. The events are beneficial for physical and mental health, being outdoors, socialising and learning new skills.”
Kirsty Connell, Membership & Communities Manager (East) at Scotmid, said, “We’re thrilled to support Woodcraft Folk’s first camp in West Lothian.
“It presents a wonderful opportunity for young adventurers to learn new skills, build confidence, and create lasting memories.”
Professionals working with young people who wish to inquire about free places are encouraged to email Woodcraft Folk directly: lauren.karstadt@woodcraft.org.uk
