Residentials
Book an outdoor residential, immerse yourself under the stars and GOWILD OUTDOORS!
Can you survive in the wild! Sleep under the star in our large bell tents! Our residential can be run from a locally organised location to save travel costs or from further afield or alternatively within the grounds of your school.
At GoWild Outdoors we want to give you and your students an adventure experience with a difference– all for a much lower cost than a traditional school residential!
Our residentials are designed for both primary and secondary schools. We have a range of activities to keep you and your children busy all day, all of which are delivered and are pitched age appropriate. Our camp programmes with built-in flexibility so that the students and the school staff have time to enjoy the camping experience.
Our Bushcraft survival residentials are run by a team of experienced instructors who look after you during your stay, including providing a member of the team for 24-hour support for your school and students during your stay.
