Outdoor Education Experiences
Go on an unforgettable school trip that will support the personal development of primary school pupils from year 3 to year 6 in the transition to their next stage of education.
Take primary school pupils on a trip of a lifetime, into the wilderness on a Bushcraft adventure. Primary school trips are a highly anticipated time of the year for students and teachers and they are often the first time a child is away from home without family. With an abundance of fun activities that challenge survival skills and the opportunity to sleep in the woods under the stars, students at Bushcraft will be kept busy and entertained reducing any feelings of homesickness.
Whether your school visits for 2 days or 5, every student will get stuck into Bushcraft activities – ranging from archery and tomahawk throwing to fire making and wild cooking. From encouraging independent thinking and personal development to increasing teamwork skills and communication, these primary school trips (year 3 to year 6 trips) with The Bushcraft Company bolster all the lessons learnt in the classroom.
Year 6 school trips are often used as a celebration for pupils at the end of their primary school journey. These trips are the perfect send off to the students who will be embarking on a new adventure in secondary education. These end of year trips are a great opportunity to go on longer residential stays and let students enjoy a week of entertaining challenges as a way to commemorate this milestone. A year 6 trip with The Bushcraft Company is a memorable way to finish primary school and an exciting stepping stone to their next educational adventure.
A Bushcraft camp is full of fun and excitement with a lot of activities to keep students learning and active. Immersed in the surroundings of beautiful British woodland, everything that primary students will do will be in the wilderness, from sleeping in yurts and eating under the leafy canopy to the activities.
Primary students will take part in activities such as shelter building, wild cooking, camouflaging, trap making, exploring the environment and learning about life in the great outdoors. Take a look at our video to see all this in action!
All of our activities are designed to encapsulate the skills needed for wilderness survival. Appropriate for primary aged children 7 and above, the activities give children the opportunity to try out new skills and challenge themselves across many different areas.
Sleeping in lovely safari-style bell tents, that sleep approximately 10 children, students will get to experience the joys of sleeping out under the stars with their classmates. This is an exciting and integral the Bushcraft experience where they will create happy memories that last a lifetime!
All our camps have a central kitchen where meals are freshly prepared for students. Students will get three meals a day and as well as hot chocolate and marshmallows in the evening. We can cater to all dietary requirements, making delicious meals for anyone who stays with us and we run nut-free camps.
Our passionate staff all have experience working on camps of this kind and also receive intensive in-house training as well as obtaining qualifications from national governing bodies for specialised activities such as archery. All our staff are hand-picked to match our values, with a vision of adventure and the real outdoors at their core.
