Activities

Bushcraft

Learn wilderness survival skills like shelter building, primitive fire starting, foraging for food, and navigation using natural landmarks.

You might also learn about flora and fauna identification and basic outdoor first aid. It’s usually hands-on, immersive, and teaches self-reliance in the wilderness.

What people say

We brought a large group of local children from our community centre in August. Sam and the other leaders were amazing with the children. Well organised, lots of fun and a great price. Thank you for a great day out!
