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

The instructors were amazing with the children and really conveyed their enthusiasm for the outdoors and the activities. Our daughter keeps asking when the camp is running again and can she go every time this day please? Thanks so much to the Polaris Outdoor team for a brilliant job :-) 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

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

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
