Team building activities and bushcraft skills
Bushcraft teaches children the importance of respecting Country and encompasses a range of traditional skills. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by the materials and resources we need to craft the tools necessary for survival, like spears, knives, axes and carrying vessels. A key component of tool making is the use of fire. Join us as we discuss the importance of fire in Noongar culture and life and teach you how to make fire and tools the traditional way.
