FERAL FATHERS

A wild woodland weekend where you and your kids do everything you've always wanted to do together - but never get the excuse

Outside. No phones. No agenda. Just dads, kids, and woods

Build dens together. Make fire together. Hunt each other in the dark. Use sharp knives.  Get messy.  Play games.  Sleep under the stars together.

When did you last spend a whole weekend genuinely present with your kids:

no screens, no interruptions, just adventure?

What happens

Adventure

Den-building, knife-using, fire-making, loads of games, and whatever else we feel like at the time. No rigid schedule - just freedom.

Connection

Away from phones and distractions, discover what happens when you simply be together. Conversations. Laughter. Memories that last.

Community

Join a tribe of likeminded dads. Most families return year after year - this isn't just a weekend, you are joining a community.

Introducing: The Feral Fathers Dartmoor Expedition

Ready to step up from a woodland weekend to an expedition together?

A multi-day hiking adventure where you and your child navigate trails, wild camp under the stars, and build the skills and confidence to plan your own expeditions together.

More than just a trip – it’s the launchpad for a lifetime of adventures.

For dads with children 12+.

Also, one dad wrote an entire poem for us at the end of a weekend, and read it out before we left.  This might be one of the clearest insights you might get.
