Decennial Challenge

We have been so lucky over the years to receive feedback on how children have gone away and wanted to show the skills they've learned.

​

This challenge asks children to do just that. Bushcraft at home; share skills in school or another club.

We'd like 2024 to be a huge year for Bushcraft and Adventure; for as many young people as possible. And so we're encouraging young people to invite someone completely new to the Adventures here at Inside Out. Whether this is inviting them to join them on a camp; bringing them to one of our 'bring a friend' nights at Outcrafters or clubbing together to join us on one of our special event days. Sharing the adventure counts.

​

Registering Completion

- simply register their entry using the link below.

Send your child wild for ten days of Bushcraft with us here at Inside Out or another Bushcraft centre. This can include single day visits, special event days or our full camps. 

​

​

Inside Out will keep an eye on day counts this end, but if your child attends a different Bushcraft centre, let us know using the link below. 

We want Inside out to be more than just memories! We want to leave some amazing things behind too. So we're challenging children to get crafty at Inside Out... this can be at one of our Camps (all will contain something), Special events (click here) or in Outcrafters. 

​

Registering Completion

We'll track entries for this our end and present badges to any children that complete the challenge. 

This one is dead simple - and will be open to anyone visiting throughout 2024. We have ordered a whopping 1000 trees and will offer every child visiting a chance to plant one!

​

Planting a tree takes five minutes, but the resulting tree could list five decades or more...

Registration and completion of this will be monitored by Inside Out. 

This challenge will ask children to use their bushcraft skills to raise money for good causes. Inside Out will be running a special camp for just that in the May Half Term (2024). But your child might have their own ideas - hammock camping in the garden, a bushcraft bake-off... Five pounds, Fifty pound or five hundred. Every little counts.

It doesn't matter whether they are the Youtube Idols, TV super stars or the amazingly knowledgeable Grandad - we'd like to know who your child's Bushcraft heroes are!

We'd like you to design your own bushcraft, quick carry kit. These are often small, can fit in a pocket or on your belt and contain at least three useful bits of kit. Some call them an Every Day Carry, but we want it to be entirely personal. As a bushcrafter and adventure, what would your UTK contain? What would it look like? Where would you keep it? 

​

In order to count, it must be easy to carry. Nothing too large. That said, nifty ways of attaching it or storing it in your bushcraft bag could be helpful. 

​

This is not a design entry - this you must make! Maybe you can use an old pencil case, get crafty with some leather, re-purpose a fold out wash kit or even craft something from scratch. 

​

No knives! Your kit, should not contain a knife. ​​

​

Please note - A Fire Craft Box does not count!

​

Remember - you are not competing against others. You are simply making your own, personal kit.
