Discovering nature together

It can seem as though every aspect of modern life is conspiring to pull the family apart. This 2 night course offers you the chance to be a family in the old way, exploring the joys and secrets of nature together.

Memories such as these are priceless:

• Making a campfire
• Shelters
• Nature awareness
• Animal Tracking
• Recognition of useful plants and trees
• Campfire games
• Campfire stories

The Family Bushcraft course is designed to not only be a fun few days with your family enjoying being out in the woods, but also to give you some knowledge of the core skills involved within bushcraft. It is a fantastic way to learn together and experience some of the wildlife the woodland has to offer.

This course will start at 17:30 on day 1 and will finish at 16:00 on day 3.

Catering
This course is self-catering, so please bring enough food for the duration of the course and a stove to cook it on. Many clients have found in the past, bringing a cool box is useful to keep all of your food inside.

We provide a kettle, tea, coffee, squash and biscuits in a brew box at the main camp fire of the course, under a large parachute. We also have fresh drinking water and a fruit bowl available.

Course Site
The Family Bushcraft course will take place at an expedition style camp in East Sussex, close to Uckfield. The camp is situated in beautiful private woodland with no public access with lots of wildlife including deer, owls, badgers, fox and butterflies. We do not have shower/toilet blocks at our sites, therefore all aspects of the course will have a fantastic wilderness feel, using a screened camp shower and a screened latrine in the woods.

We have a car park at the course site where you your car will be kept during the course (if you bring one). We also offer lifts from the local train station at Buxted before and after the course.

Other Details
Please note: Each place booked on this course is for one person only, so each course attendee must have their own booking.

Please call the office for bookings of 4 people or more for a group discount.

Joining instructions will be sent to participants of the course 9 weeks before it is due to start, giving details of where to meet, at what time, and what to bring with you. A copy of the kit list can also be found here

We also have a slightly longer family course called Family Wildlife Walkabout, which covers many aspects of watching wildlife and learning about animal habitats.

We invite you to have a look at a selection of course photos taken by staff and students in our photo gallery here.

Hi Folks, I just want to say a huge thankyou to the team; Nick, Ross, Callum, Suzie, who looked after us on the family bushcraft course this weekend.

Many many thanks to four great people who are indeed generous with their great skills. Andrea, Tony, Amber and Scarlett.
