Year 4 Bushcraft Adventure

Year 4 pupils developed new outdoor skills during an exciting Bushcraft residential.

Year 4 pupils from Cheltenham Prep enjoyed an unforgettable Bushcraft residential, taking part in a wide range of outdoor activities and adventures.

Throughout the trip, pupils learnt practical bushcraft skills including shelter building, fire lighting, wilderness first aid, camouflage, trap making and woodland walks. Alongside the activities, they enjoyed team games and challenges, building confidence, resilience and teamwork every step of the way.

The residential was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to explore the outdoors, learn new skills and create lasting memories with their friends.
