Join us to learn and develop your wilderness survival skills. Whatever your experience you will have a chance to have a go and develop survival skills handed down by Native Americans. Harvest wild edibles, learn primitive cooking and fire lighting, find medicinal plants, make water safe to drink and build an emergency shelter. At Roeburn wood, we will embark on adventures, playing games of stealth and working together with exciting challenges.

Part of the week will also be spent learning from nature with earth awareness exercises Some of the activities will be challenging, and some will be thought provoking, but they will all teach you something!

At the end of the week, you will be ready to put your new skills to the test with a challenging 24 hour solo. No matter how you choose to do it, this promises to be one of the most incredible outdoor experiences of your life.

We will live the week as caretakers of the earth. One session will involve practical conservation activities to give something back to the plants and animals that have taught us so much throughout the week.

This camp is highly recommended for all outdoor enthusiasts wishing to develop their survival skills, pursue outdoor education as a career or complete the Duke of Edinburgh Gold residential.

Accommodation: We will be living primitively in tents and tipis, and cooking over an open fire. Further info at Roeburn Wood.
