This is our foundation survival course – a truly fantastic place to start on your survival journey!
We’ll get you settled in the woodland with hot drinks and issue you with some kit and equipment for your stay. Before setting up camp we’ll make sure you know how everything works and help you find a suitable location to bed down for the night, then you’ll prepare your first meal by the fire.
The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to the world of survival and teach participants the skills required to make a night in the wilderness comfortable and successful.
We can’t guarantee the weather (it’s Cornwall after all and we know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only weather inappropriate clothing!) but we assure you that you’ll learn a heap of useful stuff and have a memorable experience.
This course is suitable for anyone aged 14 and over, Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
