ABOUT THE BUSHCRAFT COMPANY:

We provide real outdoor adventures for children aged 7-18 years old from May to October.

Arriving at one of our safari-style tented camps based near the ground of Castle Howard, students become fully immersed in the wilderness; sleeping under the stars, and cooking over open fires.

Your day will start at 7am sharp when you meet with your head chef and other kitchen assistants and prepare for the day ahead, and will finish then finish for the day at 7pm.

It's a long day but a fun one - you'll need plenty of enthusiasm, energy and passion, ensuring the students leave having enjoyed the experience of outdoor cooking and trying new foods
