It's long been established that the outdoors makes a major contribution to physical and environmental education and enhances many other curriculum areas.

Challenging experience outdoors impacts powerfully upon a young person's intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and moral development

It contributes to personal growth, social awareness and develops skills for life and the world of work. Qualities such as a sense of responsibility, ownership and a purpose in life are nurtured. There is also a great deal of intrinsic enjoyment and satisfaction to be experienced from participation in many different types of outdoor activities.

WILD offers opportunities for people to develop through direct personal experience and also offer excitement, fun and adventure within a framework of safety.

We offer education, training and recreation involving both young people and adults in a wide range of experiences, including adventurous activities on land and water and activities with an environmental focus.

Methods used include skills-focused learning, problem solving, team building and self-reliant journeys and activities, with residential experience an especially valued feature.
