Gemma Hill-Davis
My name is Gemma and Camp Curiosity is my passion. Camp Curiosity is a place where we seek to ignite curiosity and fuel learning. A place of wonder, laughter, family-time and re-wilding. A secondary school teacher and head of department of 17+ years, I am an experienced outdoor educator. I spent 8 years managing an outdoor education centre / nature reserve at a power station where everything was 'safety first' and this ethos I carry forwards with me in everything I do. As part of the CSR programme, I created a real community of regular service users that included local primary and secondary schools, interest groups and university students and held regular outdoor events and summer camps, increasing visitor numbers from 1.5k to in excess of 10k annually. Part of my role was to assist local schools with their outdoor area development as well as leading the Health & Wellbeing on-site as a mental health advocate and gaining the MIND safety qualification. I invest in myself, something I have learned to do over the last few years and now will continue to do so as there is always so much more to learn. I am enhanced DBS certified and a holder of an intensive Outdoor First Aid certificate. I have completed a certificate in therapeutic outdoor practice for outdoor leaders as well as becoming accredited (Sept '22) as an approved Learning Through Landscapes practitioner. Further to this, I am a mental health first aider and in 2022 I was named a Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday winner. I am a lover of all things related to nature and an avid tea drinker.
