These guys are the best. The directors are passionate about the outdoors, they enthusiastically encourage others to explore and learn in multiple different ways. Their expeditions are second to none and their approach with schools is fantastic. The education programmes within the outdoor environment are linked to the National Curriculum; most other providers do not have this positive approach; this approach makes it easy for teachers and students alike to relax into the wilderness. read less

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

They have an incredible knowledge of the land around them and the kids and adults who take part all go home having had an awesome adventure full of knowledge and excitement! I couldn't recommend them highly enough. 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

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
