WildWise offers 2 Wild Time programmes tailored to suit the age group: the youngers camp for 11-13 years is in April with this longer camp Wild Time for Girls for 14-17 year olds in August. This will ensure the themes and activities are age appropriate to the group but will also encourage more meaningful connections and the development of a sense of community between the girls.

For our August camp we will bring a group of 14-17 yr old girls together to learn new skills and face challenges in the wild; to explore the land by day and night, adventure across moor, woods and rivers to learn more about who they are and what they want from their lives on the threshold of young adulthood.

The adventure includes inner and outdoor challenges, bushcraft, wilderness survival skills, group games, wild walks, environmental art and crafts, and culminates in a final quest! We will cook on open fires, sleep under the stars, share stories as well as just hang out together in the peace and beauty of the wilderness.

This is not a typical outdoor programme. It has all the adventure you’d expect but with the added power of Rites of Passage.

Developed by experienced guides and outdoorswomen over years of working with youth, this unique programme offers the right balance of play, adventure and creativity to help girls develop interpersonal skills and inner resources. To enter young adulthood with a deeper sense of self and from a more confident place.
