Bushcraft and survival - Adults beginner

Service Description

At Summitstone Adventures, we believe the outdoors should be inspiring, confidence-building, and enjoyable for everyone. Our Outdoor Survival Skills – 4-Week Course is a progressive, hands-on introduction to bushcraft and outdoor survival skills, delivered through weekly 2-hour sessions. This format allows skills to be learned gradually, practised properly, and built upon week by week — perfect for those who want deeper learning without committing to a full day. This course is not about extreme survival scenarios or pushing you to your limits. It’s about useful, realistic skills, time in nature, and discovering just how capable you really are — all guided by friendly, highly experienced outdoor professionals.
