Bring your children back to nature with a Bushcraft trip for schools

Image

A Rootd bushcraft trip connects your primary and secondary school pupils with the outdoors and nature.  With flexible choices of one, two or three-night bushcraft residential trips or a bushcraft day trip we offer options to suit the objectives and budget of any school.

Our bushcraft experiences 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, confidence, and problem solving.  For many, the highlight is singing around the campfire, building a shelter, and experiencing the fun of a back-to-nature experience.

Shane was really knowledgeable and we all had loads of fun and learnt so much. Amazing!

All-year round Bushcraft Residential Trips

At Rootd, we run our bushcraft adventures all year round so you can easily fit them into the busy school calendar. Bushcraft trips can be used as a way of developing key skills, learning new topics or just getting the children out into nature. Our flexible accommodation options mean that whatever the season you can join us on a bushcraft residential trip. Our bell tents are a popular choice in the warmer months, and our woodland pods and indoor lodges provide cosy accommodation, all with sheltered outdoor areas and indoor eating spaces.
