SURVIVAL AND WILDERNESS LIVING SCHOOL

Family Bushcraft Weekend, (Two Days, Two Nights).

Building a Shelter.

What's it all about? This is a two day, two night course. Give your family the experience of building their campfire, telling campfire stories, sleeping under the stars and tracking foxes and deer. It allows Mums and Dads to get out into the wilds with their children in the confidence that they are doing so in a safe environment. We give you and your family the chance to experience living in the woods and having a really great time together, depending on each other, working together and growing closer. You will capture some fantastic memories to treasure.
