Blenheim Woods – The Bushcraft Company

Cassington Road, Bladon, Woodstock, OX20 1LE. Oxfordshire

The Bushcraft Company is a leading provider of outdoor education. They provide real outdoor adventures to schools, allowing students to get back to basics, step away from technology and create memories to last a lifetime. Their camps are located in the woodland surrounding the beautiful Blenheim Palace estate in the Cotswolds. Each school has its own private camp and gets to experience a wide range of outdoor activities designed to enhance social and personal development, whilst having fun and learning new skills. They build a bespoke itinerary with activities ranging from fire lighting and shelter building to archery and wilderness cookery.

At The Bushcraft Company, they offer 2-day, 3-day, and 5-day outdoor residentials. Each school has its own safari-style tented village and we build a bespoke itinerary based on the group size and age of the students. Activities include fire lighting, shelter building, camouflage, trap making, archery, tomahawk throwing, scenario SOS, and many more! Students will also get to try their hand at wilderness cookery and challenge themselves with a bushtucker trial! Their Bushcraft staff will be with you 24/7 and they jam-pack the days with activities and provide entertainment all the way through until bedtime. After a fun-filled day, students sleep in large safari-style bell tents or, if they are feeling adventurous, in their own handmade shelters! Their unforgettable Bushcraft camps don’t just give students a taste of adventure but inspire a lifetime of it!

As part of the GBST, The Bushcraft Company is offering a 2-day 1 night residential trip for only £99 +VAT per student. Quote Great British School Trip £99 offer in inquiry details when booking.
