Our ability in getting the best out of your team is simply down to our dedication as educators and our humanist approach! Bushcraft is such a superb builder of interpersonal relationships that it will impart great experiences to every member of your team which they will carry with them for a long time. Not only does the subject build confidence and self-reliance, it also brings forth qualities and attitudes within people that are sometimes difficult to detect.

Instead of traditional events such as paint-balling or quad bikes, we consider bushcraft has great advantages over other team-building events. While many preconceptions about the subject may exist, in reality the skills taught are not widely practiced or even understood and therefore everyone starts at the same basic level with little advantage over their fellows. Our events are unusual, fun and suitable for every level of your company from directors and down, regardless of age or gender!

We offer a wide range of selection covering one or two day events. These are divided into three main areas: a celebration experience, ice breaking sessions for new teams or team-development.

From practice, we know all the events are achievable and we place great emphasis on success. The programmes are delivered in a pragmatic and practical way and we can safely say there is nothing militaristic or macho in our methods!

The activities we offer are based on an attendance of a minimum of six people to a maximum of 30. If you have a larger group, we will be able to offer an event but to avoid disappointment we will need to discuss your requirements as we may not be able to offer all the activities listed.

"We all had a fantastic time. We all thought the activities were well planned and the guys were great. We couldn't of asked for a better day. I would definitely recommend you to others and would come again. The camp setting was beautiful and the food was delicious" - from Amberlight.
 
 

Some of the activities we can offer you

Multi days- these encompass a selection of bushcraft subjects which we can pitch ranging from simple to complicated tasks depending on the groups ability (we say 3 per day is achievable-who knows you may want to come back for more - 85% of our clients do...!)

  1. Primitive fire making e.g. fire by friction
  2. Primitive weapons range -includes longbow archery, catapults and axe throwing
  3. Wild Foods -forage, find and cook up varieties of plant (see pic), fungi and/or game in some interesting backcountry techniques
  4. Tracking -fun and informative skills in the forest
  5. Tree climbing- achievable for the not so strong, see life in the canopy and have a dangle!
  6. Plants with a purpose -forage and walks showing endless uses food/tool/medicinal properties of plants and trees.

Problem solving and teamwork activities These events have been designed over slightly longer time scales of a day and require the client to make full use of attributes such as problem solving, memory, communication, imagination, delegation and prioritization. The amount of instruction versus the clients thinking through the problems can be varied to suit the requirements. Anything from the bare minimum, to copying and then doing is possible. We have lots of different themes on tried and tested formulas.-we give you the instruction, the materials and the aim - they sound simple(!!!) but you have to make it work.....please contact us for the full programme.

  1. Shoot the breeze
  2. Have a cupper
  3. Bake a cake

One Day and two day events -these are more in- depth and are over one or two days. Depending on the experience of the team and what you want to get out of it we can also vary the intensity over your required time period

  1. Survival skills - informative mini experience in one day - fire, water, shelter and some wild foods
  2. SAR tracking (Search and Rescue)
  3. Get me out of here - The clients will be driven blindfolded into camp and will also have to earn the information to return home
  4. Wildlife watching - a potentially rewarding experience on our teeming estate!
  5. Mini Expedition- The mini expedition can be either on foot or as part of a vehicle based event

Night time activity -these range from a native american sauna -(not naked!) but in sports wear, it is great fun and very cleansing..night walks and wildlife watching with nightvision gear, bat detecting, native indian wrestling games, spit roasts...or consuming quantities of marshmallows and hot chocolate listening to our wonderful story teller or our local talented musician.

Tailor made events -If nothing you have seen so far piques your interest we are also able to offer our standard courses for private groups, families and business. Details of these excellent events can be found at our courses page.

Food and accommodation
A good selection of healthy meals and beverages are provided on these events and depending on the nature of the chosen activity, we can accommodate you with camping facilities or we can book local hotels or B&B's on your behalf.
