Holiday Bushcraft for 5-14 year olds

Mon 24 Aug – Fri 28 Aug, 8.30am – 4pm.

Holiday Bushcraft at Wandlebury is designed for children aged 5-14 and is run by experienced instructors from Wild Thyme & Embers, who will inspire children and share their knowledge and skills of surviving in the wild. The sessions focus on practical bushcraft and survival skills and follow a forest school approach encouraging self-confidence and sense of achievement.

All basic bushcraft techniques suitable for this age range will be taught, including:​

  • Shelter building
  • Knots and rope work
  • Use of cutting tools and whittling
  • Plant and tree recognition and uses
  • Seasonal woodcrafts
  • Fire lighting techniques
  • Wilderness cooking skills
  • Natural art and crafts
  • Woodland games

The cost for each day is £48 per child. Please book via the Wild Thyme & Embers http://www.wildthymeandembers.co.uk/holiday-bushcraft-club/

Children need to bring a packed lunch and large water bottle (which can be refilled throughout the day) and dress for the weather. Please send children with a change of clothes and ensure they wear suitable footwear, preferably closed toe shoes such as hiking boots, wellies or trainers.
