🌲 What’s Included?
The Holiday Bushcraft Club follows a Forest School approach, encouraging children to explore, cooperate, problem-solve, and grow in confidence — all while getting muddy and having fun! Activities include:

• Shelter building

• Fire lighting & wilderness cooking

• Knots and rope work

• Whittling & tool use (fully supervised)

• Plant and tree recognition

• Seasonal woodcraft & natural art

• Orienteering & tracking

• Woodland games

• Nature awareness
  …and more!

We provide all equipment and delicious snacks cooked on the fire. Children just need to bring a packed lunch, large water bottle, and clothes they don’t mind getting muddy.

👟 What to Bring:

• Packed lunch & refillable water bottle

• Old clothes and a full change of clothes

• Weather-appropriate gear

• Closed-toe shoes (wellies, trainers or hiking boots)

• Any required medication (clearly labelled in a plastic bag)

💷 Fees & Booking

• £48 per child per day (inc. VAT)

• Book directly via the Wild Thyme & Embers website 👉 here

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Wild Thyme & Embers — we’re happy to help.

A quick note: We play outdoors in all weather, so please expect muddy clothes and big smiles at pick-up! If a session is cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. severe weather) or your child can’t attend due to family circumstances, we’ll honour the booking at a future club. Please note that we’re unable to offer refunds.
