Tree Free Tarpology - Forest School CPD Event

RedOakBushcrafts



A summary
Skills covered:
- A simple knot that children can easily learn (or may already know), which can be used to create basic tarp shelters or dens
- How to adapt this knot in different ways so, once the basics are understood, it can be replicated and built upon
- Ways to support your tarp without the use of trees
- Simple, fun teaching approaches
The first part of each session will be looking at the knot and ways to apply it to create two or three simple shelters. In the second part of each session we will build on the skills to make more elaborate shelters using different styles of tarps and some different knots.
Handouts will be provided, along with examples of different teaching approaches. You’ll also receive access to videos demonstrating how to tie the knots and set up the different tarp configurations.
What's Included:
- 3 hours of guided Tree-Free Tarpology skills led by Peter from Red Oak Bushcrafts
- Shared tools and equipment
- Support and guidance from an experienced instructor

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
