Bushcraft
NEW for 2024. We've partnered with Wild Inspired to bring you a bushcraft camp jam packed with outdoor skills and knowledge. Perfect for nature enthusiasts aged 8-13 years. Available at Liddington, Wiltshire.
What is included?
Our Bushcraft Camps include six half day workshops. Activities include ethos of bushcraft, plant and tree ID, building shelters, fire lighting and management along with whittling and outdoor cooking. When not getting back to nature you'll get to explore the best Multi-Activities Liddington has to offer.
====Is previous experience required?
No previous bushcraft knowledge is needed and our instructors will tailor sessions to meet each groups needs
Do I need any specialist equipment?
We’ll provide all the specialist equipment you need, please see our full kit list for outdoor clothing we recommend for all Kids' Adventure Camps
Ps - to create the best camp experience for kids attending occasionally we will combine adjacent age groups on selected activity sessions. This does not include rooming or pastoral groups. During off-site activities in public areas children will be escorted by a member of our PGL team at all times.
Activities
Every day is different
Every day you get to spend half your day trying out a selection of different activities from our brilliant Multi-Activity programme such as climbing and canoeing. The other half of your day is spent doing bushcraft workshops. Please note that not all activities are available at all centres; please see the specific centre pages for more information.
Evening activities - the fun doesn’t stop there!
We also include fun-packed evening activities programmes at all our centres, every day, all year round, whichever holiday you choose.
