Whether you have something to share and celebrate or just wanting to have fun with your friends, our bushcraft activity days are the ideal solution. These courses can be land or water based, taking a journey in one of our stable and safe open canoes.
Learn basic bushcraft skills such as traditional firelighting and shelter building, have a BBQ lunch over an open fire, and make your own campfire bread.
Travelling to areas only accessible by open canoe, we teach you bushcraft and wild camping skills not covered on the one day course, including wild foods, wood carving, bow making, natural cordage, air rifles and for the brave, rabbit skinning.
Our Devon based canoeing and bushcraft weekends are based on the stunningly beautiful river Dart from either Stoke Gabrielle or Totnes and are suitable for beginners and those with previous experience.
An anniversary, reunion, celebration, wedding or any special occasion can be enhanced with a unique outdoor activity experience. Combine any of the wide range of water sports and land based activities to suit your group.
Our instructors are not only highly trained and qualified but are very experienced with groups of all abilities, and they will ensure your special event is as special as it can be. Click here for a full list of the activities available...
