If the world is to get anywhere near limiting global warming to 1.5C, we know we need to radically reduce our carbon emissions. A week living at low-carbon Camas, looking at the choices, the changes and the campaigns we need to make and sharing the communal and personal joys that inspire us on the way to sustainable societies.  We’ll also enjoy Camas community living between the seashore and the woodland, powered by renewables, eating from the organic garden, with time for walking, kayaking, abseiling and wild swimming.

Creative Week
26th September to 1st October
Led by Camas Staff

Bring your creative project or your creative side down the track. We will spend time connecting with the incredible natural world around us as inspiration for our chosen creative interest. This week will include nature walks, wild swimming, kayaking, gardening, woodland exploration, solo creative time and time to show and tell. You are welcome whatever your creative interest, be it painting, poetry, music, story telling or something else entirely. We look forward to sharing a week of simple community living, creative space, outdoor activities, good food, good company and the great outdoors.

Gardening Week
3rd to 8th October
Led by Camas Staff

Join us for a week of simple community living focussed on putting our wonderful organic garden to bed for the winter. We will ensure she is well fertilised and tucked in for a good rest over winter so she’s ready for spring planting. All while enjoying the garden’s autumn produce lovingly prepared for our shared meals.  No previous gardening experience necessary but a willingness to get your hands dirty and an appreciation of cold evenings by the fire will be beneficial.

Work Week
10th to 15th October
