SUPPORTING FUTURE GENERATIONS TO THRIVE

We're all too aware of the statistics surrounding the limited time children and young people are now spending outside.

And while adding to that rhetoric is not always helpful, it's vital when we consider what's necessary for the development of healthy and balanced children, young people and adults. It's vital when we consider our duty and our role in supporting future generations to thrive. 

Which is why we're incredibly passionate about providing an inclusive and supportive space for healthy exploration of self, other and the natural world through inspiring adventures in wild places. 

As an organisation with more than 25 years experience in leading outdoor adventures and expeditions in the wild, both within the UK and internationally, and with a commitment to building long term partnerships with all the schools we work with - we would love the opportunity to discuss how we can engage your young people on wild adventure.

None of us can turn the tide alone, we must work together in order for future generations and the health of our planet to thrive. 

"Doing this has changed my outlook on how I want to live my life."

Finn (Student, "Live Wild", Knoydart 2022)

Sarah, teacher - RINGWOOD WALDORF School

"Last night, around a fire we reviewed our time in Scotland and each student gave me a one word summary. I thought you’d be interested in their choices...

Growth - Adventure - Explore - Inspiration - Comfortable
Unison - mountain passes forced us to step in each step and sway with each sway
Overcoming - Life-changing - New  - Discovery - Kind

Strengthen - bonds, muscles, minds
Camaraderie - Beginning

Unforgettable"

the more high tech we become - the more nature we need

“The future will belong to the nature-smart — those individuals, families, businesses and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world, and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high- tech we become, the more nature we need.” (Richard Louv)
