General information

Our family holidays offer you the chance to escape the pressures of modern life and get outdoors with the kids, taking in nature’s sights, sounds and smells and above all else, have fun! If you like the idea of camping but are put off by the practicalities, or would love to try new activities but don’t know where to start, we can help.
At our centres, in some of the UK’s most stunning locations, you can enjoy a holiday with a difference, mixing a fantastic choice of exciting activities with plenty of time to do your own thing. With full board, comfortable accommodation, outdoor activities and expert staff on hand to help you get the most from your break, you’re guaranteed an affordable family holiday full of fun and memorable experiences.

ENCOURAGING KIDS TO THE OUTDOORS
Think back to the best bits of your own childhood. We bet they include building dens, hunting for bugs, climbing trees and exploring new landscapes. Sadly, younger generations don’t seem to be spending as much time outdoors. FSC is a charity that wants to change this.

ABOUT FSC
Field Studies Council (FSC) is a registered charity dedicated to helping people to enjoy nature. In a modern world, where households have multiple gadgets, and kids are more likely to ask for an iPad or the latest computer game for Christmas instead of a bike, the joys of being active outside and exploring our natural surroundings are being lost.
FSC wants to reverse this, by providing opportunities to discover and experience the natural world. We believe that this is not only good for the here and now, but also that appreciating the world around us will lead to more willingness to protect its diversity and beauty for future generations.
For 70 years the FSC has delivered courses to school groups who want to learn about the outdoors, provided training to people who work in the outdoors and offered classes to those who want to explore and be inspired by nature, all through a network of centres in some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring locations in the UK.
However, we’re excited to now be able to offer affordable all-inclusive family holidays to enable families to get active in nature together, with a mixture of organised activities and free time to explore the stunning countryside and coastlines which surround our centres.
