Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the woods…..! All the usual ingredients plus this time we’ll get to grips with primitive weaponry to make the boys delirious with excitement and the dads nervous….

Time to go deeper into wildwood living with an array of different activities from the bushcraft syllabus. This time, we will get to grips with fire by friction and work with fixed blade knives on some more woodcraft projects. There’ll be an opportunity for making and using some traditional weapons, sleeping in shelters and generally enjoying the craic around the campfire. Nocturnal shenanigans, mischief and tomfoolery will also feature in a high-spirited encounter with danger!

The activities on this camp are most suitable for boys aged 6yrs and older.

We will provide evening meals and a simple breakfast as well as teas and coffee, but you will need to bring food for your own lunches. Cooking utensils, big pots and pans will be provided and there is a large campfire, plus a small gas stove for back up.
