HAPPENINGS & FACILITIES

What we got up to at First Camp 2022

 

Rework end of roll Osprey fabrics and deadstock packs into your very own unique Greater Goods bottle holder with help from Jaimus and his expert team. 

An atmospheric film screening taking place in the estates' picturesque walled garden. With ice cream from Woodlands of Erbistock provided by Dometic coolers.

 

Put the Snow Peak Spork found in your welcome pack to good use in the very first Outsiders Egg and Spork race. A relay event with prizes to be won. 

Taste Snow Peak’s specially brewed Junmai Daiginjyou Seppou Black and White Sake - learn how it’s made, how to serve it and how to get the best flavour from Sake with accompanying food. (hint: NEVER pour your own)

Take an invigorating dip in cold water to reset and recharge.

From sun-up to sundown. Our lifeguard will be on hand throughout the day.

 

Meet, greet & socialise with the team around Snow Peak Takibi (Japanese for bonfire) fire & grill and start the weekend right. 

Whether you’ve all the gear, or none at all, rent a tent or a fire pit from Snow Peak.*

 

Learn how to make perfect pour over coffee using Snow Peak Field Barista equipment and Workshop coffee beans. Great at Camp or at Home.

Learn from expert cooks and chefs Xanthe Gladstone and Damian Clisby how to work with fire to delicious results. No more charred bangers and singed kebabs. 

With on-site bakery, butchery, deli, bottle shop and café serving breakfasts, lunches, and evening meals. 

 

A meeting of minds. First Camp marks the collaborative effort between Outsiders and Snow Peak in association with The Good Life Society. 

A first for us all, First Camp is appropriately named, but it’s also a nod to that first camp of the year for most or perhaps first ever for some. 

First Camp will be an opportunity to tap out, tune in and reconnect in the sprawling Hawarden Estate in North Wales.
