Are you looking for something a little different for your group? A mentally and physically stimulating team activity which will teach them new skills while maintaining their interest from beginning to end?

Bush craft skills is an exciting and educational event which educates children in some of the most basic rules for survival – how to create shelter, find and cook food – all without the help of any of life’s luxuries, such as electricity or tools. This is learning to live as mankind did before the industrial revolution changed the way we behave, learn and survive.

The event is usually run in a half day session. A full day is also available, where the group can learn additional, vital skills.

Teams work together to gather and cook food outdoors, build shelters and fires and navigate their way around a course. The tasks will challenge them to think both logically and creatively, and your group should finish feeling invigorated and proud of their achievements.

Included in the event are the following stages:

• Erecting a shelter that would be able to hold up against the elements using the equipment provided.
• Starting a fire with a flint striker and sourcing enough wood to keep the fire going as if you were spending the night.
• Navigating your way to find and retrieve hidden food caches.
• Preparing and cooking a team meal that will be scored by the instructors in a Master Chef-style challenge.
