We run diverse and challenging workshops to cater for a wide range of young people and their individual needs. We aim to provide opportunities for young people to explore pathways of their choice in order to develop new skills, discover new talents and passions, open doorways to new possibilities and make new friends. We teach life and survival skills such as conscious living, detox advice, healthy eating, growing food, planting trees, building shelters, coastal survival skills and outdoor cooking; reconnecting young people with the land, with each other and ultimately, with themselves.
All our workshop leaders are CRB checked and suitably qualified.

Fun on the Farm – Grow Your Own Food / Farm Animals / Earth Ovens
