Bushcraft & Survival Event

Bushcraft and Survival puts your team outside, hands busy, heads switched on, learning the kind of skills people usually only talk about after watching someone else do them on telly. This is a practical survival session built around real techniques, useful facts and shared problem solving. Your team listens, tries, adjusts, and tries again.

There is room for the person who wants to lead from the front, the quiet thinker who spots the better way, and the sceptic who suddenly gets very interested when the task is in their hands. It works because the activity is simple to understand and satisfying to do. People gather round, compare ideas, test what they have learnt and leave with knowledge they can actually remember.

It is a strong choice for corporate team building, charity events and evening parties that need more than small talk. We bring the activity to life, keep it organised, and make sure your team can get stuck in without needing previous outdoor experience.

Event Summary.

This is a hands-on bushcraft and survival event for teams who want to do something real together. Not a lecture in waterproofs. Not a few props scattered about for effect. Your team gets practical survival knowledge, tries out techniques and builds confidence through doing. It feels grounded, useful and a little bit different from the usual meeting-room activity.

The session is built around learning, listening and putting new skills into practice. Your team starts by getting into the mindset of survival, where clear thinking matters and small details can make a big difference. From there, the focus moves into practical tasks and useful outdoor know-how. People have to communicate, share observations and make decisions together, rather than waiting for one loud voice to take over.

That is where the team building starts to show. Some people are quick to volunteer. Others hang back, watch carefully, then make the suggestion that sorts the task out. Bushcraft gives both types a proper place in the group. It rewards patience as much as confidence, and it gives your team something to talk about that is not the last meeting, the inbox or the train home.

The feel is down to earth. There is a pleasing shift from, ‘I have no idea how to do this,’ to, ‘Right, I think I have got it.’ Hands get involved. People lean in. The group starts comparing methods, spotting what works and laughing at the bits that take a little practice. It is lightly competitive if your team makes it that way, but it does not rely on big personalities to carry the room.

Bushcraft and Survival suits corporate team building because it asks for the same things good teams need at work, just in a much fresher setting. Clear communication. Calm problem solving. Listening properly. Using the skills already in the group. It also works well for charity fundraisers and evening parties where you want an activity people can gather around, take part in and remember for the right reasons.

No one needs to arrive with outdoor expertise. The point is to learn together, pick up useful facts and leave with a bit more confidence than you came in with. Our team explains what is happening, keeps the session moving and makes sure everyone has a way into the activity. The confident ones can get hands-on quickly. The quieter ones can take their time, ask questions and contribute without being put on the spot.

We look after the practical running of the event. We bring the activity kit, set up the session and guide your team through it on the day. You tell us what you are planning, who is coming and what kind of occasion it is, and we shape the session around that.

What event leads tell us

Proof from teams who've actually run one.

We have used NewWave Events a couple of times at Kohler. Though we had different event hosts each time both crews were superb, steering the atmosphere and activities with expertise that sets them apart. The activities and equipment were well designed and really helped us improve communications and relationships within our team whilst having fun. Thank you!
