Root Camp Foundation CIO

Who we are

Root Camp empowers young people to lead healthier and more independent lives.

We achieve this through teaching young people about the value and provenance of food and how to cook simple, healthy and cost effective meals from scratch.  Our rural, residential courses for teenagers and home leavers combine teaching with hands-on experience of:

• Growing and sourcing ingredients directly from the field
• Preparing and cooking meals for each other

We are committed to a socially diverse and inclusive aproach.  We provide support for people from lower income families to attend.  We find that diverse groups are the best way to achieve changes in attitude and behaviour.
