# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Introduction to Bushcraft (for Kids)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The three-day Introduction to Bushcraft course is a special one!

On days one and two, children will learn the bushcraft basics: shelter building, basic knots, different ways of making fire (fire bans allowing), water procurement and filtration, cutting tools and natural navigation and tracking.

On the third day, you will attend with your young person so that they can show you what they've been up to in the woods. You will participate as a family or in a group challenge to see if you can survive in the wild with your young person to teach and guide you!

The dates are:
Thursday 10:00 - 15:00
Friday 10:00 - 15:00
Saturday 10:30 to 12:30

Please include a packed lunch on Thursday and Friday.

Suitable for complete beginners and those with some experience, even those who've done it before will learn something new - nature is ever-changing, so there's always something new to learn!

Please note we DO NOT have toilets. This is a wild-wee friendly space.
We DO NOT have permanent shelters, so dress appropriate for the weather.

Please note that this course requires a minimum of 8 participants to run. If the minimum number is not reached, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss alternative dates or a full refund.

Cancellation Policy: To achieve the most out of this event, we limit participation to 12. This means that late cancellations can have a huge impact on numbers. We request two weeks notice of cancellations. This gives us the opportunity to fill the spaces. If you have to cancel before two weeks, we offer a credit to your account to be used at a later date, but do not generally offer refunds, unless in exceptional situations. If you cannot use your tickets you are welcome to pass them on to someone else, but please let us know so that we know who we're waiting for.

Cancellations made 14 days or more in advance of the event date, will receive a 100% credit.

Cancellations after 14 days are only refunded if a replacement can be found or the ticket is sold on.

Red Tape: We're not big on paperwork, but we have all ours in order. We have the required licences for working in public forests, as well as Public Liability Insurance as per IOW Council Rules. We have Outdoor First Aid with Paediatrics, Outdoor Food Hygiene certification, and a book full of risk assessments and policies and procedures.
