Canoe Bushcraft is a canoeing and survival skills experience. Learn the basics of canoeing before undertaking a journey to a remote island to practice some survival skills. Experienced instructors from Strangford Lough Activity Centre will provide you with all the necessary equipment before undertaking a journey by canoe to a remote forested island on Strangford Lough. On arrival, you will trek through the forest to a clearing where you will learn different fire lighting techniques, how to build shelters (natural and man-made). Enjoy some hot chocolate and s’mores over the fire, before paddling back to base.
