Secondary Schools Programmes
Wild things! provides a number of Wilderness Skills
and Bushcraft Programmes for secondary schools in the North
of Scotland – Moray, the Cairngorms and the Highlands.
Environmental education activities and bushcraft are proven
ways to build life skills, whilst spending time outdoors
improves mental and physical health.
Our programmes are aimed at children of all abilities,
and are particularly beneficial for kinesthetic learners
(those that learn best through physical activity) and
those who struggle in mainstream education. Our courses
range from short residential camps to a longer term
programme working with the school so that young people
can obtain a nationally recognised qualification.
“Green exercise, outdoor activity and environmental
volunteering improve young people's wellbeing and
personal responsibility as well as maximising
employment chances.”
