Bushcraft Days
You will have the opportunity to participate in fire building, foraging, forest arts, den building and other woodland activities in a fun safe and relaxed environment.

In conjunction with West Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council, we deliver a range of fun and inspiring sessions during the school holidays all year round.

We provide all equipment but not lunch. We do take a break for lunch so please bring any refreshments they may need.
We aim towards Children and Young People being left by their parents / carers to enjoy the activities – however there is flexibility, and we can discuss you staying for a short time to help support Children in the early stages of a session if required.
Family sessions only – Children and Young People must be accompanied by an adult for all Family sessions
If you are concerned, we are happy to discuss your child’s need in advance of a session and help to select the right session for them and ensure the best possible chance of success. Please get in contact.
Please note: Our staff are not medically trained and cannot administer medicines. Where medicines are required and Children Young People can appropriately self medicate – then medicines should be provided by Parents/Carers i.e., inhalers etc. In cases where needs are complex and/or medical, and following discussion, Carers are also welcome to attend alongside participants at no extra cost. Children and young people will not be able to use their own fishing equipment
Please consider these to be ‘all weather’ activities and be mindful of the weather forecast in terms of footwear, clothes, coats, hats etc. We ask Parents/Carers to provide Sun cream if needed and anything else your child might need to keep them safe and comfortable.
