A summary
Ready to elevate your outdoor culinary skills beyond basic campfire fare? Join us for an immersive workshop where you'll break free from the confines of marshmallows and popcorn, delving into a world of creative cooking in the great outdoors. You'll unlock the secrets to crafting a diverse array of quick snacks and mouthwatering dishes that are sure to delight participants of all ages with dishes that are designed to fit into your typical 2-hour Forest School session. Discover the art of outdoor cooking as we explore the various cooking areas of the fire, each offering unique opportunities to achieve fantastic results. These techniques will not only enhance your own sessions but also propel your participants' learning much further. From getting to grips with dutch ovens, billy cans, skillets, and direct ember cooking, to unveiling the transformative capabilities of the reflector oven, this workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge to create culinary wonders around the campfire. Led by James Kendall of Woodland Classroom and Bracken van Ryssen of Bracken Outdoors, this hands-on experience promises to ignite your passion for outdoor cooking and leave you inspired to embark on flavourful adventures in the wild.

Helping you to truly Belong Outside
My mission is to help you make the outdoors a part of your life, whether you are raising children with a love for nature, looking to find ways to develop a deeper connection with the world outside, or wanting to earn a living as an outdoor instructor, I am here as a partner on your journey.
James Kendall (Woodland Classroom Ltd)
Bushcraft Instructor & Outdoor Educator
I am the Head Bushcraft Instructor and Forest School Leader at Woodland Classroom. I have been working in environmental education & conservation for over 10 years now. I received the Bushcraft Competency Certificate awarded through the Institute for Outdoor Learning after 2 years of teaching experience and practical study. Before setting up Woodland Classroom Ltd I was the Project Manager for Long Wood Community Woodland, the largest community-owned woodland in Wales, overseeing the management of 300 acres of broadleaf and conifer forest. I am also a former Director of Llais y Goedwig, the voice of community woodlands in Wales. My approach to teaching has always been with an emphasis on steering my students toward fostering a deeper connection with nature through understanding the landscape around us. Bushcraft skills are an effective way to do this as we learn about using natural materials and how we can live with the land, whilst also connecting with our own ancient past by seeing the land through the eyes of our ancestors. I have always had an affinity with woods, being at home amongst the trees, and I’ve made it my mission to study under some of the UK leaders in bushcraft, greenwood crafts and sustainable woodland management including; Dave Watson (Woodland Survival Crafts), Ben Law (woodsman, author, and eco-builder) Patrick Whitefield (permaculture teacher and author) and Mike Abbott (author and greenwood craftsman). My passions are reflected not only in my work but also in my own interests and hobbies which include; travelling, walking, wildlife and traditional greenwood crafts. I am also an experienced historical re-enactor with a passion for history, specialising in Iron Age and Viking age history. In 2010 I won the BTCV Green Hero Award in recognition for my work leading volunteers in environmental community projects. James is a member of the IOL Bushcraft Professional Practise Group. The group aims to promote best practice in the growing industry of bushcraft.
