BGA Survival Camp
Thursday 5th to Sunday 8th of October
This course is conducted entirely outdoors in an expedition style camp. Our mission is to
connect the participants to nature. We teach common survival/bushcraft skills how to survive in nature and use what nature is providing.
Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on using natural resources sparingly, taking only what you need. While many bushcraft skills have an impact on the local environment, we encourage thoughtfulness in harvesting materials.
There is a covered teaching area that also serves as a common area for breaks, as well as an outdoor kitchen where meals are prepared and food is served.
Spending time in nature was grounding for my son, espescially in this fast moving times.
