Bushcraft
Traditional skills come together to form a living craft here: lighting fires with a bow drill and burning embers, weaving baskets from willow, shaping clay and loam into vessels and firing them over an open fire, making bows and arrows, tanning rawhide, leather, and fur, and making your own clothing and equipment. Step by step, you will be guided from simple materials to masterful execution—with respect for animals and plants, stories, songs, cultural elements, and a deep-rooted connection to nature. Natural crafts are a journey, grounding, expression, and relationship: to yourself, your environment, and ancient lines of knowledge. Discover courses from beginner to master level and take home something you have created yourself – and a new sense of connection.
Courses for Children
Children and young people discover nature as a place of adventure: experiencing the seasons, reading tracks, sneaking around, lighting fires, researching plants, carving, building, playing, marveling, sleeping under the stars. In our children's courses – from the weekly Wildlings program to tracking days, weekend camps, and the Forest Rangers gang with their age groups – self-confidence, mindfulness, team spirit, and a lively connection to nature grow. A spirit of discovery meets creativity: microscopes, magnifying glasses, logbooks, heart routines, and seating arrangements alternate with movement games, crafts, and campfire cooking. Accompanied and safely guided, young people are allowed to try things out, ask questions, choose their areas of expertise, and gather skills—until they earn their own badge. Being outdoors becomes a natural part of their lives.
