Escot Education has been offering their popular family bushcraft sessions for nine years now. Based in the beautiful grounds of Escot House, the Greenwood Centre is surrounded by the historic fantasy gardens and animals of Escot Park. We have access to the wetland, parkland and woodland environments allowing families to experience nature in a safe, instructive and enjoyable way.
The activities offered may include sessions on Bushcraft / Fire sculptures / Lantern making / Greenwood carving skills / Fire lighting / Food Foraging and Campfire cooking / Storytelling / Shelter building / Environmental drama and art / Making musical instruments. We always have a campfire and may include the ever popular Barefoot Swamp Walk.
Why not book the Greenwood Centre for your own extended family and friends exclusive use? We can offer full day and wild wood weekend camping parties that can be tailored to your own interests and needs. "Milestone" birthday parties are a favourite, often running into an evening and includes a special campfire meal and a night walk. Call me to discuss the details that will make the event special for you and for information on what a wild wood camp will entail.
We also offer Greenwood Days for groups of up to 16 participants (activities suitable for ages 6 yrs+). You will have exclusive use of the Greenwood Centre and training from our staff in greenwood working tools and techniques, resulting in craft items for you to take home at the end of your session. Please contact us for a quote that will include all materials, use of tools, refreshments and cooked lunch. Ring me, Alan Bruford, on 07814036634, or email at abruford@hotmail.co.uk, to discuss dates and details.
