“We just wanted to share how much our daughter absolutely loved the Bushcraft camp—it has easily been her all-time favourite! Every day was filled with exciting, hands-on activities in the great outdoors. From learning how to make fire, bread, healing balm, and even natural glue, each day brought something new and memorable. No two days were the same!
Boris, Wendy, and Samah are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and it really shows in how they run the camp. Our daughter came home inspired and full of stories, and there is no doubt she will be joining again next year. A truly fantastic camp—thank you so much!“ Alexandra Szabo-Rowe

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THE CAMP
​
"My 9-year-old daughter absolutely loved her time at Bushcraft! This is so much more than just a holiday camp—it's a hands-on, outdoor adventure where children learn real-life skills like fire lighting, water filtering, navigation, and using natural materials to create useful tools and shelters. Each day offers a fresh programme that keeps the kids active and fully immersed from start to finish. The instructors are incredible—genuine, passionate, and very dedicated. We were so impressed, and our daughter can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended for any child who loves the outdoors and likes to keep busy!" Lucy D'odorico
