Family Bushcraft at Path To Adventure

Get back to nature and share a new experience and join us in our private woodland.

An introductory Bushcraft experience designed specifically for families. The session is based on the core principles of survival and is presented in a fun and informative way. A great way to spend quality time with all the family.

This half day session will be a hands-on experience of shelter building, foraging, wild cooking and fire lighting.

The venue for the course is on a beautiful private country estate and takes place in a stunning oak woodland, with views of the surrounding mountains and out to the Duddon estuary. There is a central area covered with a large parachute so you can stay dry whatever the weather and also a composting toilet provided for your comfort throughout the day.

The session will start with a walk around the woodland, getting used to your surroundings and identifying potential resources.

You will find and identify a good shelter building site and construct a shelter from natural materials.

There will be the opportunity to have a go at building a fire using flint, steel and natural tinder. Adults can try out the fire bows! You'll have a go at cooking damper bread or mini pizzas over the open fire and boiling some water in a Ghillie kettle for making hot chocolate and brews.

You'll be shown how to safely use a knife and have a go at carving a whistle which you can take away with you.

A fantastic fun way to get out with the whole family, learn some new skills and enjoy the peace and tranquilly of the woodland and all it has to offer.

Suitable for children and families.

Allow up to 3 hrs.
