Wild Wanderers Bushcamp - Tilgate Park, Crawley - Tuesday-Friday (16 to 19/08/2022)

Leaders: Tamara Jewell & Tom Simpson

Tuesday - Thursday 10am to 3pm and Friday 4pm to 9pm

Spend quality time in the woods mastering important survival skills, becoming one with nature and discovering the wild wonders of Tilgate Park in Crawley.

Join us for four days of outdoor activities for any budding young ecologist or wildlife enthusiast. Over the course of the week learn advanced fire lighting techniques, hone your whittling skills, and campfire cooking, track wildlife through the woods and build your own shelter.

Can you master making fire by friction? Tie up your shelter using natural cord? Make your own tools?

Tune your senses and put your skills to the test. As dusk falls on the final evening, let’s cook up a feast on the campfire and experience the nocturnal magic of the wood.

Suitable for young people of 12-16 years.
