One of the great secrets to survival is creating a shelter that will keep you protected against the elements. Split into teams and go for hunting for natural materials to design your structure before we put them to the test. Are they big enough, are they strong enough and will you stay dry and survive our waterproofing test?

Shelter building takes place in our dedicated woodland, which is kept stocked with a variety of natural materials. You will be briefed before the task and provided with safety information and a bit of inspiration for your design.
