Bushcraft Family Learning Day Course
Join us underneath the parachute shelter for the exceptionally popular and well received Badger Bushcraft Family Learning Day Course!
A one day family bushcraft and nature awareness course that focuses on teaching and demonstrating a variety of skills that can be applied in a host of accessible family friendly environments. Initially designed to meet key educational criteria for the Extended Schools Network this course has always been over subscribed and gone from strength to strength within the Kent Educational Networks.
Located at our farm site in mid-Kent this one day session will provide a sound foundation to develop further bushcraft skills, open a door to nature based learning and inspire a new found confidence and love of the great outdoors for young and old alike.
