Who we are

Welcome to Hunter’s Camping & Bushcraft School, where the bush becomes the classroom and nature becomes the teacher.
We help kids and adults reconnect with the outdoors, learn practical skills, and build a sense of confidence that screens and classrooms can’t teach.

Founded by long-time camper and outdoorsman Andrew, our programs are designed to introduce people of all ages to the simple, powerful joy of self-reliance.
