One and a half hours of bushcraft favourites! We’ll start with some basic fire lighting using a fire steel – everyone will have a go. Then we will collect wood and build a fire (depending on ages and locations children can build their own in small groups). Next we will make our damper bread – everyone helps. These will be toasted over the fire using a damper stick. If time allows, we will finish with a game or hammocks.
We have enormous fun at these parties, and they can take a direction of their own. We flex with the group.
The details…
Classic Bushcraft parties are suitable for children aged 7+ years of age – but great for adults too.
This party is suitable for up to 10 children or young people, there is no minimum amount, we can do a one to one session if preferred. We can come to you, or you can come to us. If you have a garden (it doesn’t have to be enormous – we have had some great bushcraft sessions on patios and in small gardens) or access to another space we can bring everything we’ll need. Otherwise you can come to our small woodland just outside Thaxted.
A parental/guardian consent form is required for each child or young person under the age of 18yrs.
We ask that an additional adult (who doesn’t have responsibilities for caring for a younger child) is present throughout the party. This ensures we have an extra pair of eyes on the fire and can cover toilet visits etc.
Discover Bushcraft will hold parties whatever the weather (unless it’s too dangerous) – our day camp set up will provide enough shelter for all of the activities. In fact some of the best bushcraft experiences can be had when the weather is a little inclement!
Costs
A standard party of 1.5 hours is £235 including VAT. This is for a group of up to 10 children aged 7 years upwards.
