From the moment campers arrive at Camp Crusoe, they know they are in for a magical time.
A home away from home
We love camping under canvas (we really do!), but nothing spells trouble like lots of children camping in a field at the mercy of the English weather. After a long day of activities, it is important to us that our campers can have a hot shower and a comfy bed indoors to get the much needed rest they’ll need for the next busy day!
Location
Camp Crusoe’s home for the summer is the absolutely fantastic Thorpe Woodlands Adventure Centre just outside Thetford, Norfolk.
Set in glorious private woodland, our wonderful location is as close as you’ll get this side of ‘the pond’ to a traditional American summer camp.
As well as the purpose built main house and the cabin glades, we have a vast number of exciting activities on site such as the climbing wall, zip line, archery range, challenge zone and caving system, plus areas to chill out such as the yurt, log barns and hammock sanctuary, and then many bike trails and easy river access for swimming, canoeing and Kayaking.
The centre holds the AHOEC Gold Standard, the Adventuremark from the Adventure Activity Industry Advisory Committee and LOtC Quality Badge.
Accommodation
An essential element of Summer Camp is the cabin experience.
Sharing a cabin, looking after your own personal space and considering others while living as part of a community; these are some of the many skills learnt at camp.
Campers sleep in a number of secure and modern cabins, separated into two cabin glades by gender. Each cabin has 5 beds, with staff cabins integrated throughout each glade.
There is an outdoor ablutions block very nearby with loos and hot showers but also girls and boys facilities in the main house.
The youngest campers have dorms in the main house, a stone’s throw from the cabin glades.
The accommodation has ground floor accessibility for those who may have restricted mobility.
Meals
A well fed camper is a happy camper and therefore meal times at Camp Crusoe are an integral part of the day.
Campers will enjoy hearty and healthy meals in the dining room or, whenever possible, outside.
We are very much of the opinion that ‘you are what you eat’ and therefore good ingredients are a vital part of our menu planning.
Our fantastic kitchen staff take great pride in keeping even the most fussy of eaters happy during their time at camp and no one goes home hungry.
