Description
Bushmaster Survival Challenge for Schools: outdoor teamwork for students
Bushmaster Survival Challenge for Schools brings students together for practical outdoor teamwork. Through navigation, shelter building, fire lighting and a judged cooking task, groups explore bushcraft skills with survival instructors.
How does the school challenge work?
In this event, bushcraft meets an outdoor cooking contest. First, teams learn basic navigation and map skills. They then use these skills to find hidden food supplies for the challenge.
Next, groups build shelters from forest materials and prepare a meal over a campfire. Meanwhile, they create a forest-themed restaurant setting for their presentation. Finally, our survival instructors score each team’s fire, shelter and cooking task.
Sample activities include
- Fire lighting: using a flint striker and collecting wood for the cooking challenge
- Navigation – Navigating using maps to find and retrieve hidden food caches
- Shelter building: using materials from the forest to build a group shelter
- Wild cooking: preparing a multi-course meal for our survival experts to score in a cooking contest

How can it help your team?
Bushmaster Survival Challenge for Schools gives students a practical setting for leadership, collaboration and communication. Because the tasks happen together, students must decide what matters first and allocate roles.
For example, some people build shelters while others collect wood or navigate. Meanwhile, others can focus on the camp cooking and presentation. As a result, the team needs to combine different contributions to finish the challenge.
