Cudham’s recentPioneer Bushcraft Camp was a major success ⛺🌳!
Every year, the Woodcraft Folk Bushcraft Team puts on a Bushcraft Camp at Cudham to introduce Pioneers to some useful bushcraft skills in a fun environment.
From June 26th to June 28th, Cudham was overflowing with Pioneers from across London, coming together to learn key bushcraft skills, and play lots of games in between. Although it was hot (and there was some rain and thunder in the evenings!), the Pioneers all had a great time embracing nature and getting stuck into all the engaging adventurous activities.
The groups learned firelighting, putting their newfound skills to use quickly, cooking up some lovely pancakes and making hot chocolate to share 🔥🍫They also got up to some whittling, learning how to make all manner of things from foxes to pencils ✏. Under the shade of the parachute, the Pioneers learned how to work with knives and greenwood.
A highlight for many was heading into the woods to learn how to build a trusty shelter. With nothing more than tarps and ropes, the pioneers set up something that could protect them from the elements - wind, cold and definitely rain 🌧.
📅The next bushcraft camp will be at Wimbledon District Woodcraft Folk Park Farm from 2-4 Oct for all ages from Elfins to DFs. Spaces are limited at 40 - find out more and book by 24 July here > https://shorturl.at/Gswrl
