© Hertfordshire County Council Cuffley Camp Family Bushcraft Weekend Saturday 21st to Sunday 22nd August Sleeping under the stars then waking up outdoors is one of life’s most liberating experiences, all the more special when shared with your family. On our family bushcraft course you’ll spend quality time together in our ancient English woodland, learning bushcraft skills in a relaxed and friendly manner. You will be building fires to cook on, and natural shelters for all the family to sleep in; (you can bring a tent as well). We will cover safe use and care of bushcraft tools and learn some useful knots to help with shelter building. While our supper is cooking in hay boxes and a Maori Hangi Pit we have a tracking and camouflage game for anyone who wants to join in. This will be followed by our camp fire where we cook delicious sweet damper breads filled with jam and cream and tell stories into the night (bring your own marshmallows). Every family will receive a complementary bushcraft kit on arrival and everyone will leave with there own bespoke bushcraft memento.
