Outdoor Education Experiences
Our outdoor experiences are as fun and enjoyable for teachers as they are for students. We pay meticulous attention to detail, making sure our pastoral care is second to none and taking care of everything from the moment you arrive!
Here at The Bushcraft Company we are passionate about giving every student the chance to experience a real outdoor adventure before they leave school. It’s an opportunity to put technology to one side, make lifelong memories and sleep under the stars. Our unforgettable Bushcraft Camps don’t just give students the taste of adventure but inspire a lifetime of it.

Behind our brilliant school trips there is a dedicated and passionate team. Hand-picked to match our values, with a vision of adventure and the real outdoors at their core. Every staff member receives extensive in-house training and is required to pass an enhanced DBS check, as well as obtaining qualifications from national governing bodies for specialised activities.
“Fantastic staff, amazing enthusiasm. So positive and any behaviour dealt with brilliantly. Students thoroughly enjoyed being trusted and learning new things.”
“The energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and care that is put into the camp is completely amazing… From the moment we stepped off the coach, to the moment we left, the team’s been outstanding.”
“Once again, Bushcraft have delivered a fantastic outdoor experience, allowing children to experience the great outdoors in a safe, exciting and fun environment. Superb level of care from all staff 24/7.”
There is nothing better than watching children run wild and connect with nature. Every day is so varied and exciting. It can start by singing a song while serving breakfast and lead on to creating a magical woodland shelter with sticks and mud. The role really lets your imagination run wild and allows you to see children grow and open up to new experiences. One of my favourite parts of the job is encouraging an initially shy and timid child transform to a mud covered woodland creature running through the woods, living the dream, by the end of their stay. The Bushcraft Company truly gives children an opportunity to learn in a different format from the traditional school curriculum. This supports children who might struggle elsewhere to really excel and realise their potential. It allows those high energy children a place to vent and be loud without feeling out of place. For me the woods has always been a somewhere I feel most comfortable and the ability to show that to the next generation is extremely fulfilling for me. I absolutely love this job and the opportunities it gives me every day.”
the menu I cook on camp is varied and exciting.
As a field cook for The Bushcraft Company I love how I get to use a mix of primitive and modern cooking techniques to provide high quality meals. The woodland environmental is often very different to most children’s normal lifestyle. This means the meals we serve are very new and different too. There is no better feeling than when the supportive camp environment enables a child to develop their confidence in trying new foods. One of my favourite parts of the role is waking up every day in an amazing woodland environment. The beautiful views and fresh air put any professional kitchen to shame!”
