bushcraft courses for all ages and abilities!
Aims and Objectives:
To empower, encourage and inspire people of all ages, to
use
various outdoor skills and techniques which will confidently enable
them to enjoy and be more aware of the natural environment and its
resources, with a sustainable approach.
We
understand that people absorb information when they are enjoying
themselves, and because of this, we teach with humour and fun!
Course activities
include:
Shelter building,
Water purification, Fire lighting techniques and
safety,
Peripheral vision and sensory/present-moment awareness,
Navigation & Signalling, Tracking, Forest & Tool
Skills,
Wild Food & Cooking, Tree ID, Natural cordage,
Astronomy, Weather, Crafts, Games and more…
Our
courses cater for 1:1 & mentoring programmes, school &
youth groups,
companies
& corporate team building events, children's birthday
parties, stag
and hen parties, and support for vision quest and solitude/hiking
adventures.
We usually run courses in Hampshire (the Sustainability
Centre) or Devon, however, should you wish us to teach
nearby, please contact us below. Also, email to ask
for tailor-made days, ideas, availability & prices, and to
