Bushcraft & Forest Skills
Practical skills. Outdoor learning. Real-world STEM.
From fire lighting and practical tool skills to outdoor cooking and nature-based learning, Lemmiout’s Bushcraft experiences combine traditional outdoor skills with hands-on STEM. Every session can be adapted around the age, ability, interests and learning objectives of the group.
