Discover a fun and educational outdoor workshop for kids that combines safety skills with real forest adventures. Perfect for young explorers and their families, this program highlights responsible outdoor play.
Siegurd is a nature-focused workshop provider based in Loosdrecht, Noord-Holland, offering hands-on outdoor and indoor experiences that teach craft, bushcraft, and cooking skills. The program includes basket-making (Coiling), outdoor campfire cooking with Dutch ovens (Buiten Koken), bread baking on Dutch ovens and frying pans with a scenic walk to Leersums Veld (Brood Bakken), and a Sami bracelet workshop led by Marieke Nooij using reindeer leather and horn. Siegurd also runs family-focused events such as the Ouder en Kind Weekend and supervised children’s sessions like Mes- en Zaagveiligheid voor kids (ages 6–12), where parental attendance is required. Additional workshops cover birch bark techniques (Berkenbast series), pizza-making in a portable oven, mushroom identification walks (Wilde Paddenstoelen), basic winter fire-making (Vuur de Basis), and a range of bushcraft skills including axe use, spoon carving, sharpening, field butchery, and first aid (EHBO).
Activities take place in woodland settings around Leersums Veld and in a cozy indoor atelier for select crafts. Participants create tangible keepsakes, learn practical outdoor skills, and follow clear age guidelines and safety notes provided at booking. Sessions list age restrictions where relevant and specify materials used, such as natural fibres, reindeer leather, and spruce roots. Siegurd is featured on The Adventure Collective and presents a diverse calendar of workshops in Noord-Holland designed for learners, families, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking skill-based, hands-on experiences.
