- problem solving, keep going when things get tricky -resilience
- how wood rots over time
- how to use a fire steel
- how to build a fire
- how to make a toasting stick from bamboo
- how to make drop scone pancakes
- how to create a fire circle and then how to cover up where you were to 'leave no trace

And we have so many more exciting activities planned...all of which have been generated by the children!
