Exclusive tented villages with new facilities for teachers
August 6th, 2024
Our exclusive Tented Villages with new facilities are set in picturesque locations fringing Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world after Sydney, providing a unique setting where students can relax and spend quality time with peers.
Students sleep in spacious Aero Yurts with built in ground sheets that sleep up to 10 pupils depending on their age group. Teachers sleep under luxury canvas in tents kitted out with individual sleeping pods, camp beds, blankets, chairs and a welcome pack.
Teachers have the use of a dedicated communal area with a fire pit and seating area plus phone charging facilities and, most importantly, a brew station! In addition, the new facilities include separate custom-built flushable toilets and showers specifically for teachers.
Our tented villages are perfect for school groups seeking an authentic outdoor adventure experience.
One of Cumulus’s standout features with our tented villages is exclusivity. Your group will have the entire camp to yourselves, ensuring a private and personalised experience. At no point will you have to share your tented village area or facilities with another group. The camps are designed with safety and security in mind, featuring a surrounding fence and a lockable gate. This setup provides teachers with peace of mind, knowing that their students are in a controlled, secure, and enjoyable environment.
Our tented villages offer a unique blend of adventure, education, and relaxation, making them an excellent choice for school groups looking to experience the great outdoors in a safe and structured atmosphere.
Fully kitted-out kitchen exclusive to each camp
All of our exclusive villages with new facilities have their own fully stocked camp kitchen. A chef caters exclusively for your camp with all meals eaten in the central tipi area or outside when the weather allows.
You’ll be staying on a fully catered basis, in addition to three hearty main meals each day students are provided with snacks throughout the day so no one ever goes hungry! In the evenings they also enjoy hot chocolate and marshmallows around the camp fire.
