An intensive day of instruction including, but not limited to:

Weapons Handling

Survival

Fast Roping

River Crossing

Emergency Medical Procedures

Close Quarter Battle (CQB)

Hand to Hand Combat

Close Target Recce (CTR)

PT Sessions As per UKSF selection

Plus, expect some hidden content that will help to make this weekend a memorable one.

You will receive instruction on a range of areas including survival, weapon handling and hand to hand combat plus physical training sessions at the hands of our ex-Special Forces Directing Staff (DS). You’ll also take part in an SAS type exercise conducting a Close Target Recce (CTR) then together with your team storm a designated stronghold to free the captives whilst under the watchful eye of the Directing Staff. Of course there’ll always be some hidden surprises at the hands of the DS.

If you want to push yourself to your limits and acquire life skills from former Special Forces instructors then SFBC is one you can’t afford to miss.

Military ration packs are provided from lunchtime on Saturday onward. Overnight camping with wash and shower facilities are present at the venue. Finishers of the whole weekend will receive exclusive SFBC dog tags and a certificate of completion. Please note: the content of each boot camp may vary but you will always receive an unforgettable experience.

An advance to contact with full kit to storm a stronghold

The Advance to contact will be a challenging tab followed by an assessment of a CTR followed by an Immediate Action (IA) on a stronghold to rescue colleagues. Using all the skills you have been shown you and your colleagues will conduct a team plan and using covert communications will discuss your tactics before storming the building and putting an end to the siege.

A good level of fitness is required for this weekend but more importantly the ability to get stuck in and enjoy the action. There’s no requirement to enter as a team. All individuals are welcome as good friends are made over this weekend due to the content.
