UK Figures show a significant increase in UK homeschooling, with data showing 111,700 children Electively Home Educated in 2024, a substantial rise from around 92,000 in 2023.
And it’s precisely because of the popularity of home-education in the UK that wonderful initiatives, like this one ‘Base Camp Education‘ are initiated to serve families who are seeking more nature-immersion and off-grid experiences as part of their child’s educational journey.
Basecamp Education, run by Ellie Tristam is a unique little outdoor learning and alternative education provider offering tailored learning experiences and tuition for home-educated children, alongside monthly Wild Well-being fire circles and gatherings for adults. Throughout the year, they host a variety of workshops and special events, open to everyone in the community.
Ellie’s ethos is centred entirely around the value of nature for children and has created a safe haven for both academic and mindful growth, harnessing the transformative power of nature. So, it’s quite fitting that her classroom-cabin is fitted with a Separett Villa waterless composting toilet.
Ellie said that “I chose this compost toilet as a sustainable, practical solution for my site, and I’ve been so impressed with both the product quality and the support from the team at WooWoo”
By placing connection, confidence and curiosity at the centre of learning, Basecamp Education provides a grounded, inclusive environment where students are supported to re-engage with education and prepare for life beyond it.
The log cabin sits beside a fire pit, greenhouse, mini forest school area with climbable trees, and a garden, allotment, and fruit trees. Chickens and guinea pigs often join in the learning!
