SUMMARY:Family Bushcraft: Playing with Fire
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”innerpage-rowgraphic”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nMaster the Art of Firelighting\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”inner-pagetitle”] \nA whole day of fire-lighting skills for parents and kids. We’re told as children not to play with fire\, but if we discover it’s secrets and learn how to be safe when lighting fires outdoors then it can be our best friend. It warms us\, cooks our food\, lights our way and hypnotises us whilst campfire tales are told. We believe that kids should know not only know how to light fires\, but also learn to manage their risk and be responsible for their own safety and have an awareness of their impact on the environment. If children never get to “play” with fire then they’re missing out on a whole lot of what a wild childhood should be about. \nThis one-day course is designed for an adult to accompany their child(ren) whilst you learn together. It’s perfect for parents or grandparents wanting introduce their kids to the secrets of making fire and the joys of bushcraft. Whether you’re planning a family camping trip or simply want to gain confidence in firelighting skills then this course is for you. You will even receive your very own fire-steel set to take away. \nIf it’s raining\, no problem. James will show you how to find dry firewood in the forest and start a campfire\, even on a wet day. All the above skills will be presented in a fun and engaging way that will appeal to both adults and children. You’ll go away feeling confident and with the right tools to be able to have campfire adventures of your own with your kids. \nAll this will take place against the backdrop of the National Trust’s beautiful Chirk Castle estate with ancient woodland\, deer parkland and footpath network. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \n\nCraft your own real leather drawstring pouch; to keep your firelighting kit safe and dry\nFind\, identify and gather a range of natural tinders for firelighting\, right from the forest\nChoose the best fire site; awareness of hazards\, habitats and shelter\nLight fires that will stay lit… no need for damp matches ever again\nCook traditional damper bread over your own campfire\nNatural remedies that will soothe a light burn\nWitness the ancient art of Fire by Friction\, and have a go for yourself\nDiscover a range of man-made tinders available for firelighting\nLeave no trace of your campfire in the wilderness\nUnderstand the law relating to lighting fires in the wild\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]		[vc_column_text] \nEvent details\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”white-text”]Date: May 16\, 2020 \nTime: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm \nVenue: Chirk Castle \nCost: £55[/vc_column_text]Book now		[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14492″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”row-graphic-white” css=”.vc_custom_1573054760131{background-image: url(https://woodlandclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/background-texture.jpg?id=12328) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nYour Tutor: James Kendall\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]James is the Head Bushcraft Instructor at Woodland Classroom\, having worked in outdoor education & conservation for over 10 years. James’ approach to teaching steers students toward fostering a deeper connection with nature through understanding the landscape around us; “Bushcraft skills are an effective way to do this as we learn how to make use of natural materials and live lightly with the land\, whilst also connecting with our own ancient past by seeing the land through the eyes of our ancestors.” \nIn 2017 James received the Bushcraft Competency Certificate awarded through the Institute for Outdoor Learning after 2 years of teaching experience and practical study. He is also a member of the IOL Bushcraft Professional Practise Group. The group aims to promote best practice in the growing industry of bushcraft activity providers.[/vc_column_text]Find Out More[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14193″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”wd-circle-image”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14491″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”wd-circle-image”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nCraft Your Own Firelighting Kit\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Each adult & child will receive a brand new fire-steel set\, maya stick and petroleum jelly.
