No prior bushcraft or camping experience is required. Our weekend courses are designed for complete beginners as well as more experienced outdoor enthusiasts.

Welcome to the Ultimate Bushcraft Weekend Experience

Set in the breathtaking surroundings of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, close to the picturesque village of Grassington, our Bushcraft Weekend is a fully immersive outdoor experience. Whether you are stepping into the wild for the first time or looking to deepen your existing skills, this weekend is designed to connect you with nature while teaching practical, real-world bushcraft and survival techniques.

Your Adventure Begins: Friday Evening

Arrival is from 6:00pm on Friday, where you will be warmly welcomed by a roaring campfire and the inviting aroma of a freshly prepared campfire dinner, setting the tone for a relaxed and memorable weekend.

After settling in, you can unwind, take in the peaceful woodland surroundings, and choose your sleeping setup. You are welcome to sleep in a hammock and tarp system, or, for a more immersive experience, you will have the opportunity to build your own shelter on Saturday and spend the night in a structure you have created yourself.

Saturday: Learn, Build, and Thrive

Saturday begins with an introduction to essential bushcraft principles and safety, led by experienced instructors with a passion for outdoor education. Throughout the day, you will:

• Learn shelter-building techniques (primitive and advanced)

• Master traditional and modern firecraft skills

• Develop wilderness cooking and baking techniques

• Gain confidence living and working in a woodland environment

As the day progresses, we will venture to a nearby lake to fish for our evening meal (with vegetarian and vegan options thoughtfully provided). The evening is then spent around the campfire, enjoying a hearty supper, good company, and the calming atmosphere of the woodland.

Sunday: Relaxation & Water Filtration

Sunday morning follows a slower, more relaxed pace. After a campfire breakfast, we will explore different methods of collecting and filtering safe drinking water in the wild—an essential and invaluable bushcraft skill.

The weekend concludes just before lunchtime, leaving you with new skills, lasting memories, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
