Bushcraft Course Ardennes
Want to learn how to really live in and with nature? In the Belgian Ardennes, one of the most rugged and wooded natural areas so close to home, you will find the ideal setting for a bushcraft course such as Wild Woman, Wild Human Ardennes, First Aid In The Wilderness And Trail Safety, Wild Human Event Parent-Child, Wild Human Event and Wild Human Parent-Child Ardennes. Among the deep valleys, babbling brooks and vast deciduous forests, you will learn skills that will reconnect you with the basics.
Whether you want to plan a specific bushcraft weekend in the Ardennes or enhance your general outdoor skills, this area offers the perfect environment for an intensive and educational experience. No theoretical course from a book, but a journey in which you are physically engaged, put techniques into practice and challenge yourself in wild nature.
What will you learn during a bushcraft course in the Ardennes?
The Ardennes are perhaps the best place in Europe to master the art of bushcraft. The huge variety of tree species, plants and natural materials makes it a living classroom. During a course you will not only learn to survive, but actually stay comfortable in the outdoors.
It’s all about mastering the elements. You will learn how to make fire responsibly (even when it rains), how to build a waterproof shelter from natural materials and how to work safely with tools such as a knife and an axe. This makes a weekend in the Ardennes perfect for those who want more than just a walk in the woods; it is an active dive into the world of Wild Skills.
In addition, you will learn to look with different eyes at the nature around you. Which plants are edible? How do you read the landscape? The Ardennes offer the peace and space to really fathom these skills, without the distractions of everyday hustle and bustle.

Survival course Ardennes: what’s the difference?
Often the terms are confused, but a survival course in the Ardennes is substantially different from bushcraft. Whereas survival focuses on emergencies and “surviving” until you are rescued, bushcraft is all about the knowledge and skills to spend prolonged and enjoyable time in nature.
Our courses focus on the latter form: the craft of the outdoors. You learn to work with nature rather than against it. It is precisely this deepening that makes you go into the wilderness with more confidence. You change from a visitor to the forest into an inhabitant of the forest.
Who is this bushcraft course suitable for?
This experience in the Ardennes is suitable for anyone who loves the outdoors and feels the need to become more self-sufficient. You do not need to be an experienced “outdoorsman,” but a curious and active attitude is essential.
It is not about who is the strongest, but about patience, technique and observation. You will feel at home here if you like working with your hands, are not afraid to get dirty and enjoy the simplicity of a campfire. People who want to “disconnect” completely from the digital world for a while and get back to the essentials will get the most out of this course.
Bushcraft group trip in the Ardennes
A bushcraft course becomes even more valuable when you share it with like-minded people. During our trips you trek together, share camp tasks and learn from each other’s insights. The group dynamic strengthens the learning process and creates a unique atmosphere around the fire.
The combination of learning new skills and social interaction makes for an experience that will stay with you for a long time. You not only push your own limits, but also help build a temporary community in the forest.
Within Rewild the focus is on small-scale groups and personal guidance by experienced instructors. No massive instruction, but a conscious and personal way of learning.
