Kearsney Campsite is an idyllic campsite tucked away just outside Dover.

As an environmental site, it looks to educate and inspire children of all ages. Our new bell tents are comfortable and are able to accommodate up to 100 children. The tents are warm and dry and can take up to 8 children per tent. A purpose-built shower and toilet block is also available on site.

Each night you could gather round the campfire for games, songs or storytelling sessions. We have activities on site to fill everyday but you could also take a day trip to see Dover Castle, the legendary White Cliffs, Kearsney Abbey or another East Kent tourist destination. You might just decide that you would like a day at a local beach or would like to try surfing!

A stay at Kearsney campsite takes you into the outdoors, active and appreciating nature. You see the stars before you go to sleep and wake up to the sound of birds and nature. An ability to take lessons outside is a vital tool for schools to help deliver their whole curriculum whilst ensuring students keep active, stay healthy and keep learning.

Outdoor education offers so much to children and young people. Dr Anne Hunt, chief executive of the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (2021), said: ‘Children and young people are dealing with high levels of disruption, uncertainty and a lack of physical connection with their friends and with the natural world and the inequalities are widening. There are few so well-evidenced interventions that offer... the immediate opportunity to make such a big difference to so many children and young people. With government encouraging time outdoors as part of our recovery strategies, now is the time to take learning outside the classroom.'

The benefits of learning outdoors have never been so important or so urgently needed.
