Learn how to survive and thrive in the great outdoors during one of our exciting bushcraft sessions in Dorset. Get back to basics while you master a range of skills to help you utilise the natural environment in a survival situation.

All of our bushcraft sessions take place at our residential centre in Swanage. They can be geared towards children and adults and are both fun and educational. Bushcraft courses can be enjoyed as a standalone activity and are ideal for youth groups, team building days or stag and hen dos.
