Kids Woodcraft Adventure Celebrations

Aimed at 9-11 year olds

By the time the children are 9+, they are ready to get hands on with tools and fire lighting, to add an extra level of excitement to their adventure… our offering at this age is for children to attend by themselves (a maximum of 6 adults are permitted to stay to join the experience and help with food etc.) Our adventure sessions are for a maximum of 20 children.

Our Woodcraft Adventure sessions are facilitated by our Patch Team, offering a playful guided experience.  Bringing together the perfect balance of structure and playful invitations, and the freedom to play and explore with their friends.  On arrival the Patch Team will welcome the children and start them on their Patch adventure.

• Look the part: prepare for their adventurers by putting on their camouflage paint and headband, before coming up with their adventurer name
• Woodcraft & tools: learn how to make your own bow and arrows from natural materials
• Create your clubhouse: a hide out in the woods is the perfect place to set traps for the enemy and create an obstacle course to get to safety
• Mud Kitchen Mayhem: mixing ingredients to make potions and pies to fizz and bubble
• After your adventurers feast its time to light your own fires and toast marshmallows

Our suggested timetable (based on the 10.30 session, the timings would be the same for the 2.00 session) is:

10.30:    Facilitated activities (listed above) fully facilitated by our Patch Team

12.00:    Food (bring your own food with you)

12.30:   Fire lighting, marshmallows & smores

1.00:      Finish

In addition, you will be provided with:

• use of the large yurt with log burning stove for shelter and to lay out any food, cake etc.
• plates, cups and cutlery
• cake stand, knife and matches
• the refreshments cabin will be open for adults to help themselves to hot drinks
• jugs of water, squash & hot chocolate are provided for the children
• campfire and marshmallows

The site has a compost toilet, hand-washing facilities, and a first aid station (and a qualified first aider on site).

The Patch is a natural site, and we do continue in all weathers (except very high wind), so we suggest that you check the weather forecast and come appropriately dressed.  Many of our activities are under shelter, and we are used to adapting our offering to compliment the weather. 

Our 9-11 year olds Package costs £300

We look forward to your visit to The Patch, where a warm welcome awaits…
