Junior Bushcrafter
For ages 6 – 12
All courses are 1 hour in length and cost £6 per child per course. Parents have the option to accompany their children for free but will be required to attend the Knife Safety course with their children. All equipment will be provided.
To qualify as a Junior Bushcrafter you will need to have completed all five courses.
Foraging and Tracking
A simplified introduction to recognising the products that nature can provide and how they can be used. This will include an exploration of the surrounding countryside and the creatures that share the Kent countryside. This will conclude with a Junior Bushcrafter identification test.
Bush Bread Making
To survive it's important to know how to prepare your food. This starter session will show the Junior Bushcrafter how to make simple bread products over the campfire. We give you the recipes and the basic methods that are achievable with the minimum of equipment.
Knife Safety
Come along with your Junior Bushcrafter and provide support as they learn how to use a knife safely. All of the basic "safe knife" skills are taught, as well as a look at the types of knives available and their suitability for use by children. Parents will need to attend at no extra cost.
Shelter Building
Building an effective shelter against the elements is essential for survival.
This section will provide the Junior Bushcrafter with the skills of how to make simple structures that will keep the elements at bay.
Fire Lighting and Safety
Discover the secrets of fire lighting and its potential dangers.
Junior Bushcrafters will go through the dangers of fires before a demonstration of fire lighting techniques, from the very modern to the very primitive. They will then have the opportunity of lighting a fire and then putting it out safely.
