Family Bushcraft Club
Now in it’s sixth year, we’ll be running Family Bushcraft Club again from Tuesday 16th July until Tuesday 3rd September 2019.
Family Bushcraft Club is intended for parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and their children; it will run for 8 weeks on a Tuesday evening from 6:30pm until 8:30pm.
If you’d like to join, get in touch to book on. We’ll need the first 2 weeks up front to confirm the booking, after that it’s pay as you go.
Bushcraft Club is based at our ancient woodland camp in Westwell, Kent.
