What Parents Are Saying

Real experiences from families who have joined BushWise Kids programs.

“We loved the bush day with Ramana and the BushWise team. It was a great mixture between structure and guidance and free play. The children were very engaged and enjoyed being challenged and involved with fire making, wood chopping, damper cooking, wood carving. Ramana offered a great balance between keeping the children safe and allowing them to try out these „dangerous“ things. We look forward to coming again!”

  • Our son came home absolutely glowing after the bushcraft day. He couldn’t stop talking about building shelters and making a friction fire. What really stood out was how confident and capable he felt afterward—it’s rare to see kids so engaged with nature instead of screens. We’ll definitely be booking again.”

  • “I was a little nervous sending my daughter along at first, but the BushWise team was incredibly professional and reassuring. She learned practical skills and came back with a real sense of independence. It’s such a refreshing experience compared to typical holiday activities.”

  • “This was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve signed our kids up for. They learned teamwork, resilience, and respect for the outdoors—all while having a fantastic time. The BushWise Team including Tom, Dougie and Sasha struck the perfect balance between fun and education.”

  • “My two boys attended together, and it’s all they’ve talked about since. From cooking over a fire to learning about the bush environment, every activity was thoughtfully planned. It’s so valuable to see them challenged in a positive, supportive setting. Highly recommended for any parent.”

  • My son and I attended bush wise with Ramana Dean There were about 8 other children present and my son was shy At the start of the day Ramana took the children on a bush walk that from what I heard when they all came back excited and full of energy and all talking to each other and even my shy son was chatting happily The location is sublime. We will definitely be back!

  • My twin boys absolutely love bushcraft with Ramana. The combination of being on the land, outdoors, learning life skills and working together is why they look forward to it each time. Ramana is an incredible leader for these kids and my boys honestly wish bushcraft was instead of school. Highly recommend for all children.
