INTRODUCTION
The Bushcraft UK, Families course is a low cost high quality opportunity for members of the Bushcraft UK community and their families to experience top of the range instruction in fantastic rural Dorset at an affordable price, concentrating on the Key Bushcraft and Wild camping skills of the temperate forest.
The Bushcraft Expeditions Families Course gives you the opportunity to cover an introduction to the foundations of bushcraft as a family. Our interest in nature is sewn from an early age and we believe this interest should be nurtured and encouraged. During this three day course you will be introduced to the joys of the natural world as a family. Appreciating that the attention span of your young Bushcrafters can be short we will make this course interactive and as much fun as possible. At the end of the course, you will have the confidence to go into the wild and camp and live comfortably as a family and enjoy all that the natural world has to offer.
During the course, parents will be expected to participate in routine tasks around the camp such as firewood and water collection and some general camp duties.
