The Transformation of Outdoor Education
Then – Learning to Survive:
Historically, outdoor learning was life learning. Skills like fire-lighting, shelter-building and sourcing food were vital for everyday survival. These were passed down through demonstration, repetition and shared stories around the fire. Every lesson had a purpose—and a real-world outcome.
Now – Learning to Thrive:
In today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, many children spend more time indoors than ever before. But the benefits of outdoor learning have never been more relevant. Modern bushcraft education helps students to:
- Build resilience by embracing challenges
- Develop leadership through hands-on teamwork
- Learn independence by stepping outside their comfort zone
- Improve wellbeing through connection with the natural world

Why Bushcraft Still Matters
At its heart, bushcraft isn’t just about survival skills—it’s about life skills.
Whether it’s learning to start a fire, cook a meal outdoors, or support a teammate through an activity, every moment at camp builds character. Students return with more confidence, better communication, and a renewed sense of what they’re capable of.
It’s learning that lasts far beyond the forest.
