Rekindle Holiday Club will offer an exciting, hands-on outdoor experience where young people can explore traditional crafts and earth-based skills within our 3/4 acre rewilded forest garden and permaculture site.
Each day offers two separate sessions:
Morning session: 10:00am – 2:00pm
Afternoon session: 2:30pm – 6:30pm
Participants will be guided by Scott (lead mentor) alongside a rotating team of skilled craftspeople, with activities including:
Fire lighting & safe fire management
Shelter building & navigation
Whittling & green woodworking
Leatherwork
Natural dyeing with plants & herbs
Willow weaving & simple basketry
Introduction to metalwork (basic forging, simple tools)
Wild food foraging & herb-lore
Outdoor cooking over open fires.
Our flexible programme allows for participant choice, and every activity is adapted to suit individual abilities, confidence levels, and sensory needs. The focus is on developing practical skills, confidence, teamwork, and connection to nature in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Each session includes shared food prepared outdoors together around the fire. Example meals may include:
Wraps and flatbreads cooked on the fire
Soups, stews, or one-pot meals
Grilled vegetables, kebabs, sausages (meat/veggie/vegan options)
