Our courses aim to introduce you to wilderness survival skills and bushcraft techniques. We run both 1 and 2 day course and cram as much quality instruction and outdoor experience as we possibly can into the programmes

If you opt for our 2 day course, by Saturday night you'll be sleeping in your own leaf litter shelter, warmed by a fire you've lit yourself, eating a meal that you've prepared yourself. You might even be carving something useful or making string from plant fibres by the light of the fire. After a hearty breakfast, you will take down your shelter, pack your belongings and head off for one of our fun filled adventure activities!!!!!
