About the event

Wild Teens holiday session; focus will be on a mixture of:

Learning Bushcraft skills; how to collect green wood and shape it using a selection of woodworking tools such as saws, knives and drills.

Learning Survival skills; how to build effective shelters, light fires using natural tinders, cook over fires, and more.

Enjoy time spent with others, make connections with other individuals and with nature on a mindful afternoon of creativity!

All our sessions will be held entirely outside, so please ensure your child(ren) come with a drink and are dressed appropriately for the weather (hat scarf, suncream, waterproofs as appropriate to the season) and be aware that is can be a tad cooler in the woods than elsewhere. Please note, closed toed shoes and long trousers must be worn as there are stinging nettles and midges in the woods and they will not be permitted to use tools without covered legs and toes.

This event is aimed at 11 - 16 year olds.​​​​​​

All young people must be dropped off by an adult, who must confirm their emergency contact details with the member of staff at the arrival point, before departing along with confirming who will be collecting said child.
