SurvivalBushcraft offer a variety of complimentary programmes from climate change and carbon emissions to botany and conservation. The school programmes benefit participants beyond understanding the environment and nature but also key survival skills that install self belief and build confidence.

Weekday Programmes
We work in conjunction with schools to provide a mix of teaching and survival skills. This is achieved through team games and assignments that we at survivalbushcraft have an experience in running. The survivalbushcraft website doubles as both a communications channel for continued interest and a library resource for additional learning experience; ensuring that comprehensive teaching and support is offered.

Camps
The school camp is a traditional activity in the school year and what better way to spend it than developing new skills and having a fun experience. Beyond the normal teaching programmes a survivalbushcraft school camp offers a real chance to practice techniques in an outdoor environment. The pupils find the course highly rewarding as the new skills they develop are not only useful and install confidence but are repeatable and allow them to teach others including parents.

Key Outcomes

• Team building

  We install strong team work principles. The shelter building exercises allow pupils to directly see the impact that every member delivers to the build.

• Communication

  Collecting materials and supporting team activities requires a range of information flows stemming from tasks which are best achieved with large information exchange to those which involve clear leadership.

• Confidence

  The skills learnt provide a great confidence block from which to build. We typically find it's adults who benefit from this but have found pupils are now using the confidence and achievements on our camps and transferring them to their next challenge.

• Problem Solving

  The challenges set can be tackled in many ways and truley allow creative solutions.

• IT & Research

  The scope of material covered can be extensive and the introduction into the world of survival and botany allow a portion to be self taught both from online sources including our online library but also from books and TV.
