Weekend Skills Classes (Ages 6-13)

Youth Bushcraft Workshops

Weekend Outdoor Skills Class

Offered Year-Round | 3-Hour Sessions

Our Youth Bushcraft Workshops are immersive, three-hour weekend sessions designed to build real outdoor skills, confidence, and awareness in children ages 6–12.

​

These workshops go beyond themed activities or surface-level nature play. Each session focuses on a core bushcraft skill rooted in human history and practical survival knowledge. Children work with real tools, real materials, and real responsibility in a structured, supportive environment.

​

Workshops are offered multiple times throughout the year at various Wild School locations. Each class stands alone, allowing families to enroll in individual skills or build a progression over time.

​

What sets these workshops apart?

  • Hands-on, skill-based instruction

  • Clear safety expectations and boundaries

  • Developmentally appropriate challenges

  • Small group learning with experienced instructors

  • Emphasis on confidence, focus, and respect for tools and the natural world

​

Carefully designed for children who are ready to do meaningful work with their hands, these sessions invite kids to slow down, think critically, and connect deeply with the outdoors.​
