Tuesday 25th June

In the morning, while some of our group cleared invasive species by the tidal estuary, others enjoyed an archery session the beautiful Devon woodland.

The afternoon’s bushcraft activities included building catapults for seed bombs, identifying ferns and plaiting bracelets, necklaces and rope with nettle stems.

One group also managed to decipher morse code signal from another camp!

In the evening, the girls had a lovely time learning how to light a fire and toasting (and of course eating) s’mores!

Wednesday 26th June

Today has been another beautiful day in Devon and the girls have enjoyed more archery, clearing invasive species and hunting and finding a package for a mission. They have also had fun plaiting both nettle stems into necklaces and each other’s hair into French plaits, as well as making their own hot chocolate and doughnuts.

In the evening, they prepped an made a delicious and well-deserved dinner after such an active and productive day.
