Exciting New Outdoor Courses for Home-Educated Teens at Bear Creek Adventures

Bear Creek

At Bear Creek Adventures, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new outdoor education courses, designed specifically for home-educated teens! These courses offer a unique blend of hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and the chance to connect with like-minded peers. Our first offering, the 6-Day Bushcraft Adventure, is already making waves as an exciting opportunity for young explorers to step out of their comfort zones and into the wild.


Why We Created These Courses

As the home education community continues to grow, we noticed a gap in opportunities for experiential learning that focuses on both personal development and social interaction. These courses are about more than just survival techniques - they’re about building confidence, fostering friendships, and preparing for life’s challenges in a way that’s fun and engaging.




Our First Course: The 6-Day Bushcraft Adventure

This inaugural course runs over a six week period and is perfect for ages 12-16 and is packed with activities that combine adventure with essential life skills. Over six days, participants will:


  • Master Fire-Starting: Learn multiple techniques to light and maintain fires, including using natural materials.

  • Build Shelters: Construct hybrid shelters using both natural and man-made materials.

  • Source and Purify Water: Discover safe methods for water collection and purification, followed by practical cooking activities.

  • Learn First Aid: Receive comprehensive training in outdoor first aid, including CPR and treating common injuries.

  • Navigate the Wild: Use maps and nature’s signs to navigate new terrain.

  • Face the Ultimate Challenge: Apply all these skills in a thrilling final day of team-based challenges.


This course isn’t just about surviving in the wild - it’s about thriving and developing the confidence to tackle any challenge.


The Benefits for Home-Educated Teens

Our courses are carefully designed to offer more than just practical skills. Participants will benefit from:


  • Hands-On Learning: Move beyond textbooks with real-world experiences.

  • Social Opportunities: Make meaningful connections with other home-educated teens.

  • Personal Growth: Build resilience, independence, and a deeper connection to nature.

  • Skill Development: Gain teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

  • Resume Boosting: Add a unique and impressive experience to future applications.


What’s Next?

The 6-Day Bushcraft Adventure is just the beginning. We’re already planning additional courses to expand the opportunities for home-educated students in the West Midlands region.
