WILDERNESS FOR SCHOOLS

INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

At Brelade we believe our Bushcraft Experiences offer adults and students of all ages the opportunity to gain practical awareness of the outdoors, build confidence and develop important life-skills.

Bushcraft activities are becoming increasingly popular – they are fun and capable of advancing wisdom in us all.

Bespoke to the needs of each educational establishment, the Personal Development Programme (PDP) can be built around activity periods, after-school club sessions, or one-off events.

With Brelade's philosophy regarding sustainability and conservation, incorporating our PDP in a schools extra-curricular activities can assist in encouraging students to be mindful, responsible and environmentally aware as they graduate into the influencers of tomorrow.

AUTHENTIC WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE

Whether you are looking to escape the city for the weekend to get your boots muddy, or learn the skills of survival in preparation for your next big adventure – Brelade Bushcraft courses offer you the chance to explore the world of outdoor living and experience nature just beyond your own backyard.

Survival isn’t all about how to beat nature armed only with a knife and a shoelace.

Taking our ethos from the diverse communities we have visited, and the skills we have learnt along the way, Brelade has designed this programme to provide you with a practical hands on experience. Our courses focus on the realities of wilderness living, working with nature and a few pieces of essential equipment to demonstrate how you can improvise and thrive in whichever environment you find yourself.
