Let's get Den building
We're going den building kerr-a-zee this summer. We've got everything you need to design and build your family fortress, and a gang of expert den builders to help.
Why don't you get your Mum and Dad to bring you to Eden for a day of building dens, treasure hunts and trails, making mud casts of your hands, learning how to tie knots and even how to start a campfire without matches!
After spending a day on site with our den building team you'll be hooked, so on the pages below we've provided everything you need for hours of den building fun once you get back home. There's even a chance to win a fab prize and get a certificate and cool transfer tattoo if you enter our e-Den challenge competition below!
