Wilderness Wanderers Residential School Trips 

Embark on an adventure like no other with our Wilderness Wanderers Residential School Trips, where the sun and stars are your canopy and the earth is your classroom. 

Designed for young explorers aged 7 to 16, our trips offer the rare chance to sleep in hand-crafted natural shelters or in tents (provided by us) all whilst being cradled by the serene whispers of the woodlands.

Embrace the Wild: With fun-filled activities focused on team building, group cohesion, and confidence enhancement, we give children the opportunity to shine and grow both individually and collectively.

Connect with Nature: Nestled in the heart of the woods, our students find peace in sit spots, engage hands-on with primitive skills for Stone Age overnight trips, or discover the essentials of Bushcraft and survival techniques. Our eco-friendly compost toilets and offer another opportunity to learn about how to respect and care for our natural environment.

Feast in the wild: Our immersive experiences provide nourishing, homemade, and nutritious food to fuel your child's adventures all prepared in a well-equipped kitchen area.

Fire up the Fun: Toast marshmallows and share stories as you partake in three daily activities ranging from cave art and stone tool making to shelter building, fire making, and cooking without pots and pans on our Stone Age escapades. Alternatively, dive into wilderness first aid, tracking, camouflage skills, and carving on our bushcraft adventures. And lots more to choose from to tailor make your own unique experience. 

A Safe Wilderness Home: Our expert tutors are highly trained and experienced, ensuring a safe, educational, and uniquely wild experience for all. Unplug from modern technology, step away from devices, and let your child's imagination run as free as the wildlife around them.  We don’t worry about rain, although we are 100% outside we do have a large marque area for teaching underneath which also provides a safe sheltered space for dining under. The rain only provides extra ambiance and a chance to practice tracking skills!

Night time Revelries: As dusk falls, the fun doesn't stop. Engage in night games, embrace the beat of drumming, and revel in storytelling and songs around a crackling campfire, forging unforgettable memories under the moonlit sky.

Choose Your Adventure: With options ranging from a 24-hour introduction to the wild to an expansive 3-day journey, there's a Wilderness Wanderers trip to suit every young adventurer's thirst for the outdoors.

Benefits of Woodland Camping: Studies show that camping in the woods can improve sleep patterns, reduce stress, and enhance emotional well-being. It's not just a trip; it's an investment in your child's holistic growth.

Find Your Tribe: At Wilderness Wanderers, we believe in the power of the wild to teach, inspire, and create lifelong bonds. Join us for an educational experience where fun and learning go hand in hand, and where each child has the chance to become a true wilderness wanderer.
