THE STORY

Camp Adventure is a private entrepreneurial company that originates from the sister company Manova, which is based in Østerbro in Copenhagen. Camp Adventure and the Forest Tower are driven by a group of experienced, curious and hard-working employees and experts with international views and ambitions.
From the beginning, the mission has been to provide people with an experience of the beauty of nature by staging nature in new ways and making it accessible. Always with respect for the originality of nature and with a high focus on aesthetics and quality.

Since 2013, Camp Adventure has been the lessee of the buildings and the belonging land of almost 30 hectares of Gisselfeld Kloster (approximately 20 football fields). The area is also known as Denderup Vænge. It is characterized by the undulating landscape shaped during the Ice Age with the brook, Brødebækken, flowing through. The area is surrounded by large beech- and oak trees.

In the same year, Camp Adventure erected Denmark's largest climbing park in the forest around and above the Brødbækken. Even after the first season, it was clear that the place had the potential to evolve and offer other kinds of nature experiences. In 2014, a delegation from Camp Adventure visited several vantage towers in Europe, including the vantage tower at Rügen, and here the idea of ​​creating Scandinavia's first vantage tower was created. The process proceeded as follows:

2014 to 2016: Applications to authorities

2015 to 2018: Concept and design development

2016 to 2018: Financing

2018 to 2019: Construction

As something completely unique, Camp Adventure was allowed to build the Forest Tower in peace forest. On 31 March 2019, Camp Adventure opened Scandinavia's first lookout tower designed by EFFEKT architects.
The future of Camp Adventure involves, among many initiatives, a flower field, a larger welcome building with meeting facilities, a restaurant and a shop, just as in the future various options for different accommodation will be offered. Camp Adventure has had an international outlook from the beginning and is working to spread the concept to the rest of the world. The great international interest that Skovtårnet has experienced from the beginning has contributed to this business area being a reality right from the start.

Camp Adventure - and in particular the Forest Tower - has received support from the EU development pool LAG. In addition, Vækstfonden and Nordea have lent Camp Adventure money for the project.
