Urban Bushcraft Holiday Clubs
Ofsted-registered childcare
Our holiday clubs offer children the opportunity to spend their days outdoors, learning real bushcraft and survival skills while building confidence, resilience, and independence.
Sessions are hands-on, immersive, and rooted in meaningful outdoor learning - all delivered in a safe, supportive, and fully regulated setting.
This is not soft play outdoors.
It’s skill-building, teamwork, problem-solving, and pure adventure - done properly.
Childcare support available
As an Ofsted-registered holiday club, eligible families may be able to claim back up to 85% of childcare costs through Universal Credit or use Tax-Free Childcare to help with payment - making our holiday clubs far more accessible to many families.

Easter Survival: Back to the Wild
As winter fades and the woodland comes back to life, our Easter holiday clubs invite children to step into spring survival mode.
Across the week, children reconnect with the outdoors, rebuild essential skills after winter, and take on seasonal challenges that grow in confidence, teamwork, and independence each day.
While every day stands alone, the week flows as a progressive spring journey - from re-learning core survival skills to completing Easter-themed woodland missions rooted in real bushcraft.
