Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum group size for a youth group booking?
Our group bushcraft and outdoor sessions require a minimum of 10 young people to secure our group rate. Smaller groups can still be accommodated under our standard private booking structure.
Can we choose which venue we use?
Yes! Depending on your chosen activity, group transport, and meeting format, we can base your experience at Treflach Farm, our private woodland on the Llanforda Estate, or travel directly to your venue.
How do mobile sessions at our meeting venue work?
We bring all required tools, archery targets, shelters, and safety equipment directly to your site. Mobile bookings include a small surcharge to cover equipment transport, setup, and pack down.
Do sessions run in all weather conditions?
Yes! Sessions run in most weather conditions as gathering around campfires and learning under heavy-duty tarps is part of the outdoor experience. In the event of extreme, unsafe conditions (such as severe high gales), I will contact you to reschedule.
How do we secure a date for our group?
Simply fill in the enquiry form above with your proposed dates, group size, and preferred activities. I will check the calendar directly, discuss any specific requirements, and send over confirmation details to lock in your date.
