A big part of Wild 2 is our spear making activity, your child will be given a comprehensive knife safety lesson. they will then with assistance harvest, de-bark, sharpen and then fire harden their very own spear to keep (if it's ok with parents that is)
*No live traps other than catch and release fish traps are used during the day, so no harm whatsoever is done to local fauna.
