Embrace your wild side with a bushcraft taster session!

We will meet at our riverside activity hub, where you will be introduced to your experienced instructor. After a quick safety brief we will take you to our bushcraft site and equip you with everything you need before we guide you through the essential bushcraft skills.

We will focus on how to enjoy the environment safely and sustainably, how to light and manage a fire using a range of natural materials, and how to build a sturdy shelter using what you find around you.

You’ll have plenty of time to try each skill for yourself, working in small groups to create your own fires and build your own mini shelters before testing them against the elements, will you build something that can keep your mini-mascot safe and dry?

To finish up, we’ll gather around the communal campfire and toast some delicious marshmallows!
