SESSION OVERVIEW
Our Family Bushcraft Overnight Camp offers a unique opportunity for parents, guardians, and children to step away from screens, slow down, and share an unforgettable night in the woods.
Set within our private woodland on the Llanforda Estate, this experience centres on practical survival skills and simple living. Together as a family, you'll learn tool use to carve camp items, source and prepare firewood, light campfires without matches, and construct your own ground shelter using tarps and natural materials. As evening falls, we gather to cook a hearty meal over the fire before turning in to sleep under the forest canopy, with a qualified instructor close by throughout the night.

Camp Setup & Shelter Building: Work as a family unit to design and build your ground shelter using tarps, cordage, and woodland materials.
