For Returners
For those that have been to Woodland Pioneers before, this year you can choose from one of the following two options:
Rush Weaving with Jane Bradley and Carving with Viv Walker
Knife Forging with Matt Whitaker and Knife Sheath Leatherwork with Tony Morgan
PLEASE NOTE THAT SILVERHELME SCOUT CAMP IS A STRICTLY NO DOGS SITE
Camping: Pitches on site are included in the course fee.
Certificate: If you’d like a certificate for the course (cost £10), you’ll be asked to complete a workbook detailing your learning throughout the week. This will be emailed to you beforehand then you can either print it out or complete it electronically. For those wishing to apply for a BHMAT placement, please note that it is essential that you attend the full course and gain a certificate.
Food: The cost of a hearty, delicious veggie/vegan lunch and evening meal is included in your fee. Breakfast will be provided at a small extra cost. There is also a tea tent in the woods that will keep you supplied with brews – and, more importantly, cake – during the day!
Concessions: If you are unable to afford the course fee we might, in certain circumstances, be able to help so do get in touch – [email protected]
The minimum age for participants and people on site is 18 years of age – we can take no responsibility for those under 18.
BHMAT and our tutors take every precaution to ensure your safety and we will have a number of qualified First Aiders on site. We need to know of any special medical or mental health condition or medication that might compromise your safety or that of others. Disability access is limited on site, so please talk with us about any specific needs before you book on the course.
Our Woodland Pioneers week is a break-even event. Any additional donation to help BHMAT with costs and its apprenticeship programme would be very much appreciated.
