Celtic Harmony Camp Travel back to ancient Britain at Celtic Harmony Camp, the outdoor Prehistory centre in Hertfordshire. Featuring seven roundhouses located in a tranquil woodland setting, the centre invites pupils to journey from Stone to Iron Age with costumed educators. There’s a range of day and residential trips to bring classroom learning to life. Children can train as Boudicca’s Celtic warriors, grind grain as Iron Age farmers, build dens as Neolithic hunter-gatherers and get creative with cave art, covering over a million years of Prehistory in a day! Teachers return year upon year to bring new groups to experience the “brilliant and immersive” activities on offer.

It also explores the impact of prejudice and isolation and promotes British values like democracy, tolerance, and mutual respect.
