Ark in Oundle Bushcraft
Parent and Child Adventure!After a very successful first bushcraft course in April this year Ark in Oundle comes back with a follow up opportunity for children to spend good quality time with a parent/grandparent/sibling/uncle/auntie in the woods.
Our second Bushcraft course is on the 27th – 28th of August 2011 and will be led by Dave Watson. The Bushcraft trip offers parents quality time with their children, learning how to build shelter in the woods, cook on open fires and even prepare wild food for eating. This trip is for children aged 8 – 14.
Bushcraft is a great tool for building confidence and self-esteem in young people. The sense of adventure is within us all and conventional forms of education rarely meet the needs of young people who want to explore and try new things. Ark in Oundle wants to offer parents a chance to spend quality time with their children. Don’t miss the chance to experience an adventurous weekend that you will never forget. There are limited spaces so contact us now if you are interested. If you feel you are in difficulty paying for the course or if you know someone who might be let us know as financial help is available from Ark.
Bushcraft and survival based activities provide an excellent basis for helping people to understand social skills, team and personal development, as well as environmental issues. Woodland Survival Crafts offers a comprehensive range of bushcraft survival courses designed to educate, challenge and inspire the young people. Dave Watson, the founder of Woodland Survival Crafts says: “The satisfaction we get seeing people overcome fears, gain confidence, work positively with their friends and come to terms with themselves and their abilities is the real issue as far as I am concerned, but the icing on the cake is when they gain a recognised certificate.” Dave's passion for ancient survival skills, or bushcraft as it has become known, led him to create Woodland Survival Crafts in 1995. Since then, Dave has witnessed the inspiring effects of learning bushcraft on both young and old.

The Pit Stop camping weekend
This weekend the Pit Stop Crew ventured North to the Peaks for a weekend of fun, adventure and games. Accompanied by wonderful teens from the Pit Stop all loaded with their own unique sense of humour,we had a lot of fun. We all survived and hopefully came home slightly stronger people, knowing we had overcome any of many challenges - from climbing mountains to understanding someone else to putting up a tent. We all need a good nights sleep now, but most of us can't wait to pack up and go off again.
If you are interested in joining us as a volunteer or a happy camper, come along to The Pit Stop on Friday nights at the Rec in Oundle or contact Ark in Oundle.

Ark in Oundle Bushcraft: Father and Child adventure
.
In this busy and demanding world, many things get in the way of Fathers being able to spend time with their children. At Ark in Oundle we recognize that and would like to give Fathers the opportunity to take their children away to Derbyshire for a night's stay in the woods.
Our first Bushcraft session is on the 2nd-3rd of April 2011 and will be led by Dave Watson. The Bushcraft trip offers Fathers quality time with their children, learning how to build shelter in the woods, cook on open fires and even prepare wild food for eating.
This trip is for Fathers and and their children aged 8-14 and is an opportunity for Fathers to learn together with their child some ancient survival skills. Bushcraft is a great tool for building confidence and self-esteem in young people. The sense of adventure is within us all and conventional forms of education rarely meet the needs of young people who want to explore and try new things. Ark in Oundle wants to offer Fathers a chance to experience an adventurous weekend that you will never forget. There are limited spaces so contact us now if you are interested. The course lasts for 24 hours, with a sleep over in shelters built by you in the woods.
The key subjects covered are:
- Safety and Hygiene
- Shelter construction
- Cooking on open fires
- String making
- Friction Fire lighting
- Wild food identification and preparation
Bushcraft and survival based activities provide an excellent basis for helping people to understand social skills, team and personal development, as well as environmental issues. Woodland Survival Crafts offers a comprehensive range of bushcraft survival courses designed to educate, challenge and inspire the young people. Dave Watson, the founder of Woodland Survival Crafts says: "The satisfaction I get from seeing people overcome their fears, gain confidence, work positively with their friends and come to terms with themselves and their abilities is the real issue as far as I am concerned, but the icing on the cake is when they gain a recognized certificate".
