Regular bushcraft clubs that runs on the second Saturday of each month. Our morning session “Foxy’s Bushcraft Club” is for younger children and the afternoon session “Discover Bushcraft Club” is for children aged 10 years upwards.
Foxy’s Bushcraft Club (Ages 7-10 years)
Do you have a child who adores being in the woods, exploring and discovering? We are starting a brand new club for younger children. Foxy’s Bushcraft Club will introduce children to the skills and knowledge of bushcraft. Your budding bushcrafters will learn how to build and manage small campfires (and cook on them), learn how to use tools, learn survival techniques and perhaps most importantly learn about and feel connected to nature, the seasons and our amazing local wildlife.
Maximum group size of 8 children.
Discover Bushcraft Club (Ages 11+)
We get involved in serious bushcraft here. This is a step up from Foxys (our younger group) We take on ambitious projects that use a range of skills and knowledge. We are led by the group and work together to ensure each member is able to achieve within their abilities. We have been described as an alternative to Guides and Scouts for those that prefer smaller groups, that are dedicated to the outdoors and inclusive of individual needs.
First and foremost is the commitment to nature. We aim to install a love and connection to nature and wildlife, Alongside that we work with the seasons to provide a wide range of activities along with firm favourites of campfire cooking, knife work and when we can fit it in hanging in a hammock for those precious moments of just being in the woods.
There is a maximum group size of 8 with 2 instructors.
