Stone Age Workshops

The Stone Age Company

School Workshop

trip icon We are authentic in our teaching sharing our own experiences of living as Stone Age people with no modern equipment exploring the North Cascades as nomadic hunter gatherers and have real stories of life in a cave, eating bugs and beasts and hunting with a bow and arrow for our dinner.

The tools and clothes of the past get handed around the children, they can try an edible bug and jerky (optional) all giving them a chance to take a step into the past to connect with our stone age ancestors. Our woodlands offer a great stage as a backdrop to illuminate the Stone Age topic. We even have our own Mammoth!!!!!!

Testimonials

“One of the best educational trips we have ever been on. The opportunities and activities for the children were brilliant and we all loved every minute. The course is an absolute credit to yourselves, thankyou Naomi.” – Assistant head, Tunstall School.

"The most amazing day I've had in my job & the perfect end to our Stone Age topic. Dan is fantastic & his resources are fascinating, as are his stories of living as a Stone Age tribesman! Not sure who actually enjoyed themselves more, the children or us staff! I would highly recommend you to anyone and have shared your website on our class page of our school website too. I cannot say thank you enough." Grangehurst Primary, Coventry

Who are The Stone Age Company?

We have lived as Stone Age people in the Wilds of America with no modern equipment roaming the North Cascades as true nomadic hunter gatherers. And we have been on CHANNEL 4 SURVIVING THE STONE AGE!

We teach Stone Age education skills using the woodlands as an outdoor classroom. We also travel out to schools around the UK to offer a real Caveman in your classroom type experience. Our sessions are always highly interactive, educational and hands-on.

Our Sticks and Stone Age programme brings the subject alive and encourages children to connect with their history. We pass around the tools, the furs and containers of the past making the Stone Age subject a 3D experience. Choose from our list of activities for your hands on workshops. Get messy with cave art, light up our cave with primitive lamps, learn the process of making a stone tool or build a shelter just like our Mesolithic ancestors and more.

Reviews from Schools..

★★★★★
"We had a fantastic day with Outback 2 basics. The children were engaged the entire time and it was very educational. Dan was very good with the children and we all went home with smiles on faces (including the teachers!) We will definitely be booking again next year."
