Bushcraft, foraging and survival skills for families with teens. Get outside, learn new skills, meet new people/bring a friend, spend some intergenerational time in a different setting. Triangle Tribe is a monthly session of Bushcraft for Wellbeing, outdoors at the community garden, for families with teens aged 12 to 16, led by forest school specialists CultureWood CiC. Grandparents welcome. Neurodiversity welcome.

Bushcraft, Wellbeing & Team Connection
Activities:

• Collaborative basecamp setup
• Practical bushcraft (whittling, fire skills) or printing/ making a woodland chime
• Team challenges on the slackline

This session combines some skills you can learn or practice (eg knives/ printing), and some fun with the slackline

Activities will vary with the seasons and are likely to include outdoor survival skills, open fire cooking, ancient fire skills, whittling, foraging, nature observation and making useful and decorative things from natural materials.
