Inspiring a lifetime of adventure
Our residential trips for schools are what makes Wildchild unique above other providers. We don’t just offer days of back-to-back activities taking children from one harness to another!
Wildchild Residential trips provide a real opportunity for children through to young adults to experience the natural world outside. We deliver immersive outdoor education experiences in exciting woodland environments, with a key focus on engaging young people, helping them to identify and appreciate the many benefits and wonders of the natural world.
“Amazing opportunity for our children to interact with each other and nature – as well as develop survival and team-building skills”. Woodside Primary Academy
Our varied residential trip programmes ensure achievement on a Wildchild Adventure is about much more than simply who climbed highest and who reached furthest. We recognise and celebrate teamwork, resilience, the willingness to try new things and perseverance in overcoming personal challenges.
“Enlightening! Wonderful to see the children thrive and experience challenges in a safe manner! It scares them just enough to push them out of their comfort zones but remains fun!” Whytemead Primary School

Our outdoor adventure school residential trips give primary school pupils an immersive introduction to outdoor learning.
Challenging activities build resilience, independence and develop practical life skills that complement classroom learning.
Whatever the weather, time spent outdoors offers a unique opportunity for learning to be embedded back in the classroom
The opportunity to try new experiences, build resilience and grow as an individual makes a residential school trip worth every penny.
Our outdoor adventure centres provide spacious and natural woodland setting for our residential trips, convenient and easily accessible location, and flexible accommodation options. Whether you opt for the under-canvas camping experience with our bell-tented village (available in both locations May-Oct), cosy dormitory style lodges in rural Hertfordshire, or the unique experience of our glamping pods in leafy Surrey, you’re guaranteed a great night’s sleep in a fabulous location!
