Nature – It’s at the heart of what we do  

We put you in the centre of what we are all bout. You can expect your whole class to disconnect from technology and fully immerse themselves in the outdoors.

Wild Cooking – Back to basics 

As part of our Bushcraft philosophy, students will have a chance to experience wild cooking. Seeing how salmon is prepared from start to finish before tucking into it later that same day. It’s a fantastic experience to help teach where food comes from and how it reaches their plates for dinner. Dietary requirements can be met throughout the trip for those with specific food preferences and the team prepare many meals for your camp in our communal camp kitchen, from wraps, pizza and even stuffed peppers!
