These true outdoor residentials immerse your students in the wild, giving them the confidence and resilience they need to navigate the world around them.
Arriving at one of our safari-style tented camps, students will become fully enveloped in the wilderness, sleeping under the stars, and cooking over open fires. Away from screens and technology, our activities encourage team building and give students the chance to develop new skills and interact with their peers in a fun, creative environment. Whether they are learning first-aid techniques, building shelters or tackling a SOS scenario, our outdoor adventures are as real as you can get.
Our Bushcraft residentials are run by a team of experienced instructors who look after absolutely everything during your stay, including providing 24-hour pastoral care for your students!
On every camp there’s a roaring campfire, where the students gather for talks and mealtimes between their jam packed programme of activities.
Every meal at camp is freshly prepared on-site by your field cook, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. On every trip, the students will also have the chance to cook their own food, using traditional Bushcraft methods.
We tailor make each trip so prices can vary, depending on factors such as dates and student numbers. Our autumn trips start from £99 per student and our summer trips start from £125 per student.
All our courses are bespoke, created to suit your students needs, for more information, get in touch!
“Staff and children thoroughly enjoyed their Bushcraft camp. Can’t wait for next time!” Teacher, Westbourne School, Summer 2022
“There is nothing better than watching children run wild and connect with nature. Every day is so varied and exciting. One of my favourite parts of the job is encouraging an initially shy and timid child transform to a mud covered woodland creature running through the woods, living the dream, by the end of their stay. The Bushcraft Company truly gives children an opportunity to learn in a different format from the traditional school curriculum.”
