Planning Your Bushcraft Adventure: A Guide for Teachers 

We know the thought of planning an outdoor school trip might make you want to grab another coffee or two. Between marking schoolwork, chasing down homework, and organising assemblies, who’s got time for trip logistics? Well, take a deep breath because The Bushcraft Company is here to take the weight off your shoulders—and your to-do list! We’ve made it so simple, you can practically just show up and have fun (seriously)!

Here’s how we make planning your adventure a breeze:

What Will We Be Doing?

Don’t waste your precious planning periods Googling “fun outdoor activities” – we’ve already got it covered! Our Bushcraft trips are packed with exciting, educational, and let’s face it, super fun activities for your students. From fire-building to shelter-making, each day is packed with challenges that will engage your class like never before. All you have to do is turn up, and we’ve got the rest of the adventure mapped out!

Teacher Portal: Your New Best Friend

Once your trip is booked and the initial invoice is in, you’ll get access to our handy Teacher Portal. This will be your go-to for everything you need: trip dates, student numbers, location info, and invoices—all in one place. Got questions? Just shoot them through the portal, and our friendly customer service team will be there to help.

What to Pack (Spoiler: No Tents Required)

Worried about packing? We’ve simplified the gear list to the essentials. Think: water bottles, clothes that can get muddy, and sturdy shoes. We’ll send you the list in advance, and it’s easy-peasy. So no need to stress about niche outdoor gadgets (no one needs to panic-buy a compass at the last minute).

What’s for Dinner?

Good question! We know students need to stay fuelled, and let’s be honest, so do teachers! Our camp chefs whip up healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals that keep everyone energised for outdoor adventures. And yes, there are campfire treats because what’s a Bushcraft adventure without a marshmallow or two? We also cater for dietary requirements, so whether it’s gluten-free, vegetarian, or allergies, we’ve got you covered.

Is it Safe?

Safety first, always. Rest assured, we have a risk management policy for each estate. We provide your school with all the paperwork and details about the measures we’ve taken to ensure everyone’s safety. You can relax knowing we’ve thought of everything—so you and your students can focus on enjoying the experience (without any of the “what-ifs”).

What Do We Tell Parents?

We know parents want the know-all on where their kids are headed and what they’ll be doing. That’s why we host parent info webinars to answer all their burning questions before you even hit the road. Plus, we provide resources that you can send directly to parents to keep them in the loop and feeling confident.

Embrace the Adventure

We’re here to support you every step of the way, so you can fully enjoy the adventure alongside your students.
