Why UKSN is Perfect for Families
Families thrive when they learn, grow, and explore together. Whether you’re teaching your children how to build a fire, planning a camping trip, or just looking for ways to unplug and reconnect, UKSN supports you with knowledge, resources, and a family-friendly community built around preparation and fun.

WHY JOIN UKSN?

From first aid to shelter building, our resources are designed for all ages and experience levels — so families can grow their resilience together.


Safe, Supportive Community
No drama, no judgment. Just UK-wide families sharing tips, experiences, and encouragement in a safe, respectful space.


Get Outside and Make Memories

Prepare for the Unexpected
Life can be unpredictable. UKSN helps families build simple, practical plans for power cuts, emergencies, or getting stuck on the road.


Offline-Ready Resources
No screens needed — we offer printable checklists, activities, and guides to help kids and adults learn at their own pace, even offline.
WHAT MAKES UKSN SPECIAL?


Welcoming Environment
The UKSN has a fully formed constitution and code of conduct. We also have both anti bullying and child protection policies in place that we expect all members to adhere to at all times. These core documents form the backbone of UKSN, ensuring that our community remains a safe environment for all members.


The UKSN is one of a small number of organisations to hold a Camping and Caravan Exemption Certificate in England, Scotland and Wales. This enables us to operate campsites for sole use by our members without needing planning permission or to apply for change of use for the land.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY:
“My kids beg to go the next UKSN camp. We’ve also learned how to be ready, have fun outdoors, and connect with other like-minded families. It’s changed the way we live”
