Outdoor Active is a fun and exciting session held in local woodland. With help from your instructor, you will learn different bushcraft skills and try things like log-splitting using special tools designed to keep you safe.

This session helps you:

  • Grow your confidence
  • Talk and work with others
  • Enjoy spending time outdoors and learning new things

All activities are risk-assessed to make sure they are safe for everyone.

We would like to thank Clipgate Farm for letting us use their beautiful woodland for free.
