Bushcraft Residential Trips
Bring your children back to nature with a Bushcraft trip for schools
A Rootd bushcraft trip connects your primary and secondary school pupils with the outdoors and nature. On a bushcraft trip the focus is on making the outdoors accessible and engaging, as children learn essential skills to enjoy and appreciate our local natural world.
Children are taught fire-making, shelter-building with natural resources, foraging, outdoor cooking methods and the practical uses of plants. Bushcraft activities like camouflage techniques, knife skills and tool creation, learning to recognise animal tracks, and navigating by natural signs like the stars or sun help build confidence and trust. Whilst practical a Rootd bushcraft trip is equally about self-discovery and joyful exploration.
Our bushcraft trips are tailored to meet the needs of your students and their year group. Every activity develops the skills you’re looking for back in the classroom: resilience, team-work, and problem solving. With a choice of one, two or three-night bushcraft trips there's an option to suit every budget and objective.
