Bushcraft adventure day at Greenham and Crookham Common

Spend a whole day with the rangers learning how to build dens, tie knots and make a fire at Greenham Common.

This relaxed, informal day gives children a fantastic opportunity to explore the woodland on the common. The day will include an opportunity to build a basic shelter, learn how to have a campfire safely and cook something for lunch.

Be prepared to get wet and muddy, and have a lot of fun!

Suitable for boys and girls aged 8-14 years. Please wear suitable old clothing and sturdy shoes or boots. Lunch is provided.

Please note this event is held at Brackenhurst Lane, the opposite side of the common to the Control Tower Car Park. Directions and arrival instructions will be given on booking.
