Georgia Bushcraft
Private
Georgia Bushcraft is a wilderness-skills school and outdoor gear retailer on a private 30-plus-acre property in Watkinsville, about 20 minutes from downtown Athens. It teaches workshops in fire starting, knife skills, shelter building, wilderness survival and foraging for students of all levels, and hosts an annual spring campout and fall gathering with demonstrations and classes. It runs youth and family-focused classes, but no multi-day children's summer camp with dates, ages or hours is published.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Georgia Bushcraft directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

★★★★★Bowdier SackettDefinitely a great event with fantastic people and vendors. Beautiful grounds. Definitely a must attend and will be back for the whole weekend. More camping area this year made it seem uncrowned.
★★★★★Norm PrinceJust got back from the fall gathering...a wonderful experience...lots of learning and mingling with folks that have interests that probably intersect with yours, if you like to spend time outside for any reason.
★★★★★Andy Dickason (Mr. Andy)I drove 15 hours to get there and it was worth every second! Amazing people and the hospitality of the South shines through I can't wait to go back!
★★★★★John RadCool place for family to enjoy. Great coffee and outdoor skill classes. We camped for the entire event. Our kids had the time of their life running around learning with the kids classes. Knives, blacksmiths, survival gear. Casey is fantastic, runs the show flawlessly but couldn’t get it done without his right hand man Critter.
★★★★★Brett BrumbelowGreat family fun, and good time for all. Outdoor skills and wisdom galore.
