Ark in
Oundle Bushcraft
- Parent and Child adventure -
After two very successful bushcraft courses in
April and August 2011 Ark in Oundle comes back in 2012 with a follow up
opportunity for parents to spend time with their children during a night’s stay
in the woods.
Our third Bushcraft course is on the 16th – 17th of June
2012 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 parents and their 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.
OCYA youth worker Nic Shaw will
be there with some interesting adventure stories to tell in a relaxing evening
atmosphere by the fire.
