Big Hat Bushcamp

        We run school trips all year round, all designed to train our visitors in the following essential skills: 

• Shelter building - we're out in all conditions, so our shelters have to be good enough to cook under and sleep under (and we do).

• Fire building - matchless fire lighting using traditional and modern methods - always a favourite and hugely rewarding (for more than just tea and marshmallows).

• Camp fire cooking - wilderness training doesn't mean 'roughing it' when you eat as well as we do.

• Team building and group challenges - developing teamwork, self confidence and problem solving abilities underpins everything we do at the Bushcamp.

• Stealth Games - taking hide-and-seek and forty-forty to the next level, we teach some great games to take away and play with friends and family.

• Make your own survival kits - these great souvenirs of the Bushcamp ensure you'll leave with more than just new skills and great memories.

• Archery - have a go with a selection of different types of bow, for some traditional woodland archery.
• Water procurement and purification - arguably the most important of survival skills, you'll learn how to quench your thirst, without turning a tap.
• Navigation and wilderness map making  - you'll learn how to make it back to civilisation in one piece, even if your GPS doesn't.
