Our Y7 bushcraft experience was truly transformative for our pupils. They tackled a huge range of challenging tasks under the expert supervision of Mat Barnsley and the Really Wild Team. They developed skills of grit and self-reliance that will serve them well in their school lives.Really Wild Education’s expert coaches deserve the highest plaudits. Their carefully planned programme and emphasis on children being self-sufficient (the pupils did the cooking and washing up, too!) were hugely valuable. And the team’s professionalism and proactive attitude meant the accompanying teachers had a relaxing and fun time, too! 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

It was a thoroughly informative and excellent hands-on experience led by some truly inspirational people. Lucas has dreamed of becoming an ‘explorer’ over the last few years and we can now begin to see how we can ensure his dream becomes a reality and will definitely be tapping in to the Really Wild educators and their knowledge and experience in other settings. With any luck Lucas can join in on an expedition, or two! We look forward to catching up with you soon. A huge thank you. read less

It was brilliantly organised and one of the most memorable and enjoyable school trips I have been on. Matt and Steve are a very likeable and knowledgable team. 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

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

He was chatting to us about what he has learned every day after the camp. Highly recommend as there is so much fun and also life skills to learn. The kids are outside all the time, which is also great in particular when the days starts to become warmer. Will be definitely back for the next time. read less
