Bear Dog is old-school: we do grand days out, but not social media or on-line bookings, although there is an editable pdf consent form on the paperwork page. To make a booking, or to be added to our mailing list, please telephone or email.
Next adventures
Bird-life Adventure
Use hand tools to make a nesting box to take home, using high-quality timber which will last for years. Learn how to identify common British birds. As usual build a den with your friends, light fires, cook your own lunch and have the traditional Bear Dog fun.
Mon 19th October FULLY BOOKED
10am to 3pm. Yr4+ £45 including lunch
Spiderwick Adventure
As promised last year, a magical adventure based on the brilliant Spiderwick Chronicles (even the most reluctant reader will love them, but they are also a film): help Jared, Simon and Mallory to defeat the evil Mulgarath and his army of goblins. Dodge vengeful sprites; cross a stream without waking the troll; tame a griffin; feed the ever-hungry but helpful Hogsqueal and defeat Mulgarath in the final battle.
Thu 22nd, Fri 23rd, Mon 26th and Thu 29th October
10am to 3pm. Ideal for Year1-6 (older welcome) £40 including lunch
Previous Adventures
These adventures are not currently available, but here’s a tiny handful of previous adventures to give you an idea of what we do:
Horrible Histories adventure
At last! As demanded, Bear Dog fans will be able to go on a horribly historic adventure. Spend a day with Gorgeous Georgians, Slimy Stuarts, Rotten Romans, Vicious Vikings, Angry Aztecs and very Terrible Tudors. Educational fun in glorious, very silly, Bear Dog style.
Hobbit adventure
Join Bilbo and the Dwarves on their quest to ‘burgle’ Smaug’s treasure. Brave Gollum to find the One Ring; defeat irksome orcs; tackle a giant Mirkwood spider; light fires with Gandalf; feast on ‘honey cakes’ with Beorn and help the brave Men of the Lake shoot down the dragon.
Team Survival Challenge
Many of our ‘old hands’ have gone on literally dozens of Bear Dog adventures, but how much have they actually learned? This day will put them to the test. You and your team are marooned with a tarp, a cooking vessel, a fire-steel, a first aid kit, basic rations and a knife. Can your team rig a weather-tight shelter, make fire, construct a cooking tripod, cook a meal and improvise a ‘camp gadget’ to bring a little ‘luxury’ to your life?
