Bushcraft Residential
The Bushcraft trip is a three-day, two night residential trip for Year 7 students. It is held at The Bushcraft Company site at Castle Howard, North Yorkshire on Wednesday 1st to Friday 3rd July 2026. This is an exciting, outdoor experience, which offers students the opportunity to step beyond the classroom, build lasting friendships, and develop key skills such as leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving in a unique and memorable setting.
Bushcraft offers a truly authentic camping adventure, encouraging resilience and independence removed from home comforts. Students will be without electronic devices and other modern distractions, relying instead on the essentials: a tent, a sleeping bag, cooking over an open fire—and basic toilet facilities, with no access to electricity or showers. We will have exclusive use of a woodland camp where students can develop valuable skills and knowledge beyond the classroom. For students considering the Duke of Edinburgh Award, this is an excellent introductory experience.
