Last week, 45 of our amazing children set off from LOPC on an unforgettable adventure into the Leicestershire Countryside!

They camped overnight, faced the challenge of walking back via a different route, and did it all in temperatures reaching 30°C. It was tough going at times, but their determination, resilience and team spirit shone through every step of the journey.

Along the way there were plenty of moments that will be talked about for years to come – from laughter around the campsite to unexpected encounters with curious cows who seemed particularly interested in one group's camera! 📸🐄

Challenges like these create memories, friendships and life lessons that last far longer than tired legs and sore feet. We are incredibly proud of every single child who took part and embraced the adventure with such enthusiasm.

Well done, everyone – what an achievement! 🌟🥾⛺

Congratulations to our five successful delegates who completed the iol bushcraft competence award, demonstrating their knowledge and practical skills across a range of core bushcraft competencies, including:
🌿 Knots and tarp shelters
🔥 Fire lighting and management
🍳 Campfire cooking
💧 Water filtration and purification
🪓 Safe and effective tool use

The IOL Bushcraft Competency Award is an excellent qualification for adults who want to support others in bushcraft and outdoor learning. It provides a recognised framework for developing the practical skills, safety awareness, and professional standards needed to deliver quality bushcraft experiences.

Most encouraging of all was seeing such enthusiasm from the group and the growing diversity within bushcraft and outdoor learning.

Our next IOL Bushcraft Competency Award takes place on 12th September. If you're an adult looking to develop your bushcraft skills and gain confidence in supporting others, we'd love to hear from you.

Six weeks is a long time to spend glued to a screen, scrolling social media or gaming indoors. While independence is important, teens still need opportunities to learn, challenge themselves, make friends and build confidence.

This summer, we're offering action-packed adventure days and skill development programmes designed specifically for young people. From climbing and paddlesports to leadership, conservation and target sports, every day is an opportunity to try something new and achieve something meaningful.

📱 Less screen time.
🌿 More fresh air.
🏆 More skills.
😊 More confidence.

Give them a summer they'll actually remember.
