A day with us looks like:
Our staff will wait at the gate and greet everyone on arrival, ringing the bell to welcome the session.
We begin the day gathering material to start our fire after lighting, we sit together and check in.
Then we demonstrate our activity. This could be anything from making fishing spears to tripod stools.
Our groups love cooking at the campfire, so we always make sure we have something delicious bubbling on the fire grate.
We include a mindfulness session too, the woods makes for very focused, creative and peaceful young people, with a deeper connection to nature, away from digital life.
