Action-Packed & Educational, Outdoor Adventure Activites for Kids Aged 6-12.

Jim’s Bushcraft Parties

What better way to celebrate a birthday than being in the outdoors learning and practicing Bushcraft and survival skills with friends and family? Jim’s Bushcraft Parties has extensive experience designing and organising bespoke Bushcraft and survival themed parties for both children (Aged 6-12) and adults alike.

Locations

We have so far taken our Bushcraft party package to many areas of the Southeast including Hertfordshire, Surrey, Middlesex and the London area, particularly North and West London.

What is a Bushcraft party?

Jim’s Bushcraft Parties will provide you and your child with a truly memorable, action-packed and informative event where new skills will be learnt and enjoyed by all involved (See reviews).

A Bushcraft party can be up to 3 hours and based around a variety of different skills and activities depending on the interests of you or your little ones.

Jim's Bushcraft Parties - Bows & Arrows. My favourite of all the activities, this involves a step-by-step process on how to make a mini bamboo bow from scratch which is surprisingly powerful. Firing arrows up to 30 feet! Once completed the bows can be personalised and taken home too!

Bushcraft Skills

Shelter Building

Teams work together to build their own natural shelters using the environments natural resources or use modern tarps and ropes to build a den, which is hopefully waterproof!

Bows & Arrows

My favourite of all the activities, this involves a step-by-step process on how to make a mini bamboo bow from scratch which is surprisingly powerful. Firing arrows up to 30 feet! Once completed the bows can be personalised and taken home too!

Firecraft

Safely practice many of the ancient and modern methods of fire lighting using many different types of flint and steels.

Fire Construction

Ideal for cooking marshmallows over. Campfires will be built under the watchful eye of our professional instructors and myself with an implemented safety zone in place for the short duration of the fire.

Bannock Bread Making

Learn how to make and cook your very own bannock bread over the fire! Also, hot chocolate is a popular choice on cold days.

Whittling

A high rate of supervision is required for this activity due to use of a carving knife and peelers. Here the basics of wood peeling and carving are learned by carving and decorating a spoon, gloves are worn at all times.

Wild Foods

Discover the seasonal wild food that surrounds us and learn about the foods that our ancestors were familiar with! Although I don’t mind eating bugs for entertainment the children will never be asked or encouraged to do so.

Variety of Games

Face Painting, Tug-of-war, racing sacks, Camo stalking and plenty of running games to get warmed up.

The party was well planned, perfectly timed and packed with fun. What more could you want? Many thanks again,

March 2020

The party was amazing. Jim was brilliant! The feedback from the other kids has been nothing but compliments, and the birthday girls had a great day also. Only complaint was ''not enough bugs'' ha.

I don't think any of us expected the girls would be so keen on grasshoppers and worms???!!!

August 2019

Jim was absolutely amazing. He was so calm, patient, charming and clear with his instructions, and he maintained a good balance between being ''too nice / relaxed'' and being strict. The kids liked him alot.

Sophia mentioned to us many times afterwards that she really liked Jim. 🙂

Thank you very much for everything. We had a great time. This will certainly be a sweet memory which is to be cherished for a long time.

February 2020

Jim delivered a great session for my son’s 11th birthday with 5 of his friends. The den building, bow and arrow making and fire building were all a huge hit.

We manged this despite a drizzly day in early March and we were given some great tips on how to provide food etc to make it as easy as possible.

The grown-ups enjoyed joining in with the bow and arrow making. I’d recommend taking some flasks of hot drinks if it’s a cold day but so long as everyone gets togged up it’s fun whatever the weather!

Jim was fantastic, the kids absolutely loved it. Really was the best party ever. Even with over 20 kids who did get very cold Jim kept them busy, occupied and interested, he is a great teacher, enthusiastic and professional.

Thank you, Jim. I'll highly recommend you to everyone.
