Our Bushcraft Courses

Derbyshire / Peak District Bushcraft & Wilderness Skills Courses

We may not list many courses, but we can offer everything you may need. Our introductory courses allow you to get a taste of what’s involved, whet your appetite for adventure and see where it can take you. Then maybe take it further.

We will be adding more courses as we go but if you have a specific requirement just get in touch, just because it’s not listed doesn’t mean we won’t do it or that it’s going to be expensive for us to put it on specifically for you. If your looking at a career in the outdoors, we can provide training at the correct level for you to work towards the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate.

We can provide businesses with a relaxed team building day or something with a more competitive angle but still working on your teams development. We will work with you to allow your team to learn more about themselves and each other.

Stag and Hen parties are welcome, we can tune the day to suit your requirements.

For schools we can provide activities linked to the curriculum for KS2, 3 & 4. Using the outdoors to build on students knowledge, personal wellbeing, confidence, self esteem and resilience.

We also pledge to plant a tree for each course we run, it doesn’t matter how many people are on it. We want our woodlands to thrive so we can continue enjoying them.

Family or Adults Only Courses

Our listed courses typically have a family option as well so you can chose an adult’s only course or one where the kids can join in. For family courses the lower age is typically 8 years, however younger children may be able to attend depending on a few things, just ask. There is no upper age for family courses as we accept some people just never grow up!

Friendly instructors

We have been in your position so understand how you will feel at times while trying new skills. We will take as much time as possible to make sure you understand and reach your potential. We take pleasure in seeing people achieving success through doing not just watching. Our teaching style is open and friendly.

Attitude

We believe that attitude towards the environment as well as our subject matter is important. We are friendly but not soft, you need a certain degree of strength when the weather is not so good to achieve some things and good weather is not something we can guarantee so come prepared!

Practice does indeed make perfect

We don’t cram as much into our courses as possible, we believe you need time to practice to get the most from your skills. It doesn’t mean, however, that there will be lots of time sitting around, you will be busy. With high contact time from your instructor it will also change that statement to perfect practice makes perfect, no point in practicing something wrong!

All of the students were super proud of themselves because they could light fire without matches and told their teachers and friends how it’s done!
