Bushcraft
Rediscover nature through the art of bushcraft and develop hands-on wilderness skills.
Basic Bushcraft provides a foundation in essential naturecraft skills. Participants will learn fundamental techniques for surviving in the wilderness! This will include firecraft, safe wood processing techniques and shelter building. This hands-on experience will foster a deeper appreciation for nature and the skills needed to thrive outdoors.
Advanced Bushcraft allows participants to dive into essential survival skills, like building shelters and starting fires, while reconnecting with nature. This activity will take your bushcraft skills to a higher level, focusing more on the specific techniques and tools used today and in the past. Join us for a down-to-earth adventure that blends learning with hands-on experience.
