A Day in the Woods: 24th & 31st May 2025
For Fathers, Mentors & Young Men (Ages 8–25)
This isn’t just a day out. It’s a rite of passage.
Join Stephen, a lifelong outdoorsman and bushcrafter, and Jamie, a former Team GB boxer turned coach and mental health advisor—for a powerful day in nature. Designed for pairs of young men (ages 9–25) and their father-figures, this experience blends physicality, tradition, and reflection in the wild.
Whether you’re a dad, uncle, mentor, big brother, or godfather, you’ll leave stronger, closer, and more grounded than you arrived.
🥊 Boxing with Jamie
Explore the mindset of strength. Jamie will guide us through the discipline and self-control at the heart of boxing first in theory, then in movement. Expect expert teaching of boxing skills with some fun interactive pad/glove work between fathers and sons.
🌿 Bushcraft Walk & Staff Carving
Walk with purpose through ancient woodland, learning about foraging, forest management and primitive hunting. Along the way, you’ll choose and harvest a 'staff blank' and carve your own hiking staff, using carving and fire to make it your own.
🔥 Fire & Feast
Split wood. Light fires. Butcher a deer with respect. Cook a shared meal. This is a feast earned together—with honest food, good company, and space to reflect around the fire.
Who's It For?
- Young men aged 8 to 25
- Accompanied by a father, mentor, big brother, uncle, or male role model
- Just 5 pairs per day to ensure a connected experience where no one loses a finger
