Woodland Survivors - New for 2010/2011

Experience 3 days of ‘living off the land’ as you and your class develop and refine your bush craft skills.

A fantastic programme of activities, led by a qualified bush craft specialist, will teach your pupils all they need to survive in the wild! A great way of developing self-reliance and personal confidence as well as building your class’s ability to work together as a team.

A fun set of educational activities which will bring out the survival instincts in everyone!

Activities include:

Day 1:

AM/PM: Shelter building using a combination of natural and man-made resources. Work in teams to build a shelter good enough to sleep in!

Eve: Night Time Challenge or Rural Crafts

Day 2:

AM: Scavenge for wood and build a camp fire.
Once the fire is built prepare your own lunch from a range of ingredients - add flavour using what you can find in the hedgerows and on the forest floor!

PM: Trek through Hooke Woods, taking in the natural sculptures created by Andrew Goldsworthy and the ‘Magic Tree’. Learn skills such as animal tracking, route finding and foraging in the woodland environment.

Eve: Camp fire entertainment

Day 3:

AM: Modelling & Trail Laying:

Create and design your own model or sculpture drawing inspiration and resources from the natural environment.
Set your own coded trails using any natural resources you can find.
