Trackways Information

Trackways are pioneers of bringing adventurous learning to schools in the U.K. Teaching bushcraft and survival excursions for the past 12 years to many schools in the private sector across the country. The programs run from a day visit up to a five day camp. We have recommended itineraries or we can design a bespoke course for your group. We can visit your school and work with your students or they can come to our sites. We accept children from 7-17 our minimum number is 20 students. We offer well rounded programs that inspire a life long interest in the natural world. These adventures are exciting, challenging and packed with information and new experiences. Our approach draws from our considerable experience teaching a wide range of survival skills in an exciting environment with care and safety. There is an emphasis on the methods of instruction that encourage, engagement, problem solving and confidence building. Just bringing the children in to an environment away from electronic gadgets and confined spaces reawakens their enjoyment of learning, and for those with more hands on learning modalities can give them an opportunity to shine. These camps increase all the children's academic results by the growth in confidence, team work and supportive friendships. Trackways work on a number of different woodland sites in Sussex. We have our own ancient woodland site, we use a beautiful organic farm and a 3000 acre estate depending on requirements. We offer one free place to teaching staff per 10 children. Our staff ratio is 1 staff member to 10-15 children. Our staff our trained to a high standard, are all enhanced C.R.B. checked, first aid trained, and very experienced, both in the skills they are teaching and the methods of delivery.
