They encourage all students to take part in activities and are experts in their field. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From a very happy teacher. read less

I didn't hesitate, therefore to recommend him to my school to run bushcraft camps for Year 7. They were a resounding success with repeat bookings made immediately. Mat is passionate about what he does. He is authentic and has tremendous integrity, combining emotional intelligence with bravery and expertise. read less

Over the course of the week the students gelled as a team, I saw their true colours shining through and they all loved it. Excellent feedback from the parents. Our instructors were absolutely top class. Not only in their professionalism with the students but their dedication to ensuring staff also got lots out of the trip and we’re comfortable. Meeting other Really Wild instructors out in Finland also showed that this level of expertise, professionalism and friendliness was consistent across the company. Would thoroughly recommend!! read less

Mat, having been a classroom teacher, is absolutely fantastic with all the students - from those ‘problem’ boys to moody girls and kids lacking in confidence. I had total faith in his ability to run the week and manage our group. All the students (and teachers) learnt so much about the flora and fauna of the surrounding area - he managed to keep the interest of the group for over half an hour by just talking about nettles!The Really Wild Team are so impressive we are booking more trips with them for the future and I’m looking forward to working with Mat in the future! read less

Not only did I learn some great survival skills, but I was able to work on my social skills, as there was a lot of team work. On the other hand my self reliance improved greatly, as it was essential that we were organized.I also gained more confidence as I began to see my strengths and could use them to help myself and others.Katie B read less
