Fire Lighting at Outdoor Elements

Connect with an essential survival skill and discover your inner adventurer

Discover Fire Lighting – a Timeless Outdoor Adventure for All Ages

Fire lighting is a captivating outdoor activity rooted in ancient tradition, where participants learn the essential skills of creating and managing fire using natural resources. Drawing inspiration from our ancestors, this hands-on experience invites all participants to master the art of fire lighting—an invaluable survival skill that has been passed down through generations.

Why Try Fire Lighting?

  • Inclusive: our approach means everyone gets a chance to contribute, learn, and celebrate success together.
  • Fun! Hands-on, and packed with learning opportunities.
  • Sense of Achievement: an incredible feeling when your spark turns into a flame.
  • Safe and Supervised: Our fire lighting sessions are led by experienced instructors in a controlled and safe environment.
  • Brilliant way to connect with nature through the selection of natural resources.

What to Expect from a Fire Lighting Session

Fire lighting is more than just creating a flame.  During this session, you’ll learn the science behind fire and the techniques that give you the best chance of success.

Using minimal equipment and natural fuel foraged from the surrounding woodland, your group will work together to ignite a fire. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the safe and effective use of flint and steel to create that all-important spark. The moment your fire bursts into life brings an incredible sense of achievement!

We like to emphasise that fire is a tool, not a toy!  The fire lighting session will be tailored to the aims and objectives of the group. This could be purely the challenge to light a fire or go on to enjoy cooking a tasty treat over the fire. For birthday parties, we offer toasted marshmallows, and for outdoor education visits or team-building programmes, Bannock bread is a favourite.

Add a spark to your next event!

Fire lighting is a fantastic addition to:

  • Birthday parties for ages 8 to adult
  • Outdoor education programmes
  • Team challenges
