Bushcraft for Families

This is an adventure specifically designed for parents and their kids (aged 8 to 17) to share.

A chance first to learn and then to test your survival skills. There will be group and solo activities, a rare family opportunity to show yourselves, and each other, just exactly what you are capable of.
