Urban Bushcraft

Well… we barely had time to blink and somehow our busiest term yet has come to an end. 🤯🧡

Private groups, birthday parties, kings trust, drop-off sessions, 1:1 expeditions, team building, community events… and our Home Ed sessions that have been consistently selling out almost as soon as they’re released !!!

What a WILD ride 🌪️

Our social media may have dropped off into the abyss but we certainly haven’t 🔥

I genuinely couldn’t have done it without this incredible bunch. 🧡 (Plus a few legends behind the scenes… especially Louise, who basically became CEO while Eddie and I disappeared off to America! 😂)

This photo is a pretty accurate representation of running a business. 👽 A little bit chaotic, a little bit surreal….but always a brilliant adventure with the right people by my side

To every family, school, business and organisation that’s trusted us this term… thank you. We never take it for granted, and we’re so excited for everything that’s still to come.

Right… onto our favourite part of the year… Summer Holiday Clubs! 🔥🏕️

LETS DO IT 🚀

What. A. Week. 🥹🌿

Monday kicked off with our Home Ed Drop Off session… combining survival skills, campfire cooking, teamwork and a little military-style escape and evasion 😎💪

Then on Tuesday, another SOLD OUT Home Ed Families

We’ve got just 2 tickets left for next Tuesday! 🚨

These sessions are selling out almost as soon as they’re released at the moment, and honestly… we’re blown away by how much our Home Ed community is loving them ❤️

Next week, Kirsty’s back with a Woodland Mini Sports Day! 💪🏅 as requested by one of our families 🧡

Because Home Ed children shouldn’t miss out on all the sports day fun 😉 Expect woodland challenges, teamwork….and yes, there may (or may not 😏) be a cheeky parents’ challenge too!

Who’s grabbing the last two ? 🌿

🏕️ 2 loads of kit
🤝 2 teams

🔥 1 challenge: survive the heatwave.

Last week our Home Ed crew took on soaring temperatures with a series of survival challenges 🌡️

Each team worked together to build their own camp before dealing with a range of simulated first aid emergencies… everything from heat stroke to broken arms and legs. BIG shout out to our little casualties who fully committed to the acting 😂🙌

To finish the day, each camp had to collect, build up and defend their precious water supply at all costs 💧

Needless to say… it quickly descended into an all-out woodland water fight 💦 which definitely cooled us all down pretty fast

What a day 🙌

Just 4 spaces left to join us tomorrow 🧡 10am-12:30pm

🚨 Another SOLD OUT Home Ed session for tomorrow… but don’t worry 👀

We’ve got you covered 👊😎

We’ve managed to squeeze in a few extra spaces, so if you missed out the first time round, now’s your chance 🙌

With the temperatures set to soar ☀️ we’ll be making the most of our woodland canopy, shady spots, water-based games and all the cool corners the woods have to offer 💧🌳

So if you fancy escaping the heat and joining us for a day of woodland fun…

Grab an extra spot while you can 👇✨

🐄 Nosey cows
⁉️ Questionable routes
😎 Seriously cool scenery

Another mini adventure out to Anchor Church with B during our 1:1 session 🌿

I don’t think either of us were too disappointed when we discovered the path had flooded… which obviously meant there was only one sensible option 🤷‍♀️

Straight through the sparkling waters of the Black Pool - Wet boots, soggy socks & zero regrets ✌🏻

#1:1

🍕 🇮🇹 Carmen’s Italiano Pizzeria was in FULL swing during our Tuesday Home Ed Families session last week… and what. a. DAY. 🙌

Another SOLD OUT Home Ed session 🔥

We’re absolutely loving welcoming new people into our woodland community while continuing adventures with our regular crew 😎 We genuinely love this group so much 🥹

With the sunshine finally making a proper appearance ☀️, these sessions have been filling up FAST!

We have just 4 spaces remaining for this Tuesday’s session 🚨 and we’ll be diving into…

💧 WATER 💧

Exploring one of our most precious resources through team challenges, games, and a look at some basic heat-related first aid scenarios ⛑️

(Or let’s be honest… any excuse for a water fight 😉)

See you on Tuesday guyyyssss 👋

✨ GLOBAL DAY ✨ 🌍 Saturday 11th July | 1pm–5pm

We’re SUPER excited to be supporting BAF Team Global Day festival this July 🙌
