Ignite

We are kicking off our outdoor woodland youth club with a 7 week fire skills and outdoor craft programme for young people aged 12-16.

Across the programme, participants learn how to safely build, manage, and use fire for cooking, crafting, and creating. Exploring firecraft, creative making, bushcraft skills, and hands-on outdoor art.

This collaboration between We Are Wonder and Rumpus Room offers young people a supported space to develop practical skills, confidence, and connection with others through creative outdoor experiences.

FREE To attend thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund.
