Hi all
I am a mum and home educate my kids. As part of this I am setting up a bushcraft style group for a group of about a dozen 10 year olds. I want to start small and build up to bigger things - I just don't know what I should start with, or what to aim towards. As the title suggests I am a total beginner. We go camping a lot, and like all things natural and messy and muddy.
We are planning to start with things like foraging, den building, knife skills (whittling), building fires, cooking outdoors, building up to camps out.
Any suggestions gratefully received, or point me to relevant resources.
A question about fires too - where are we allowed to do them?? We live in the West Midlands anre there are open areas such as the Lickey Hills, Clent and Baggeridge Park, but I don't know what the law says..
thanks so much for reading this
Lisa
