14-17yrs. Woodlander Bushcraft Course
This course provides teenagers with an opportunity to develop their bushcraft skills, enhance their knowledge of natural history, and learn to live in an expedition-style camp.
During this six-day course they will cover all the same skills as the adult Woodlander - delivered at a similar pace and intensity as the adult course, we expect our students to be passionate and serious about learning these essential outdoor skills. The course covers everything from learning about purifying water to learning how to set up and sleep in a hammock.
