Our Team

The people behind Canvas Camps

At Canvas Camps, we believe that great residential experiences are created by people, not just places. Our team brings together experienced outdoor educators, instructors and support staff who share a passion for outdoor learning, pupil wellbeing and meaningful educational experiences.

Every residential we deliver is underpinned by strong relationships - between our team and your staff, and between pupils and the environment around them. We work collaboratively with schools to ensure each group feels supported, understood and confident throughout their stay.

Education-Led, Not Activity-Led

Our approach

Canvas Camps exists to support schools, not replace them. Our programmes are designed to complement classroom learning, school values and pastoral aims, using the outdoors as a powerful context for growth.

We take the time to understand:

  • Your pupils and their needs
  • Your learning objectives
  • Your expectations around care, behaviour and structure

This ensures every residential feels purposeful, inclusive and well planned.
