REALLY WILD BUSHCRAFT WORKSHOP

ABOUT REALLY WILD BUSHCRAFT AT WOWO

Great for kids and families and great for school groups, leaders and staff teams too! Really Wild Bushcraft was founded by Steven Shove in January 2020 to deliver exciting and enlightening bushcraft adventures and outdoor learning experiences for all. Since then, the Really Wild team has run activities and workshops for several thousand of our amazing campers and visitors.

This includes all the children and families who have enjoyed our publicly available workshops, the pupils of numerous schools who have taken advantage of Really Wild’s specialist personal-development and curriculum-related educational camps, a multitude of private family and other groups, and a wide range of leadership and staff teams too. The team has created wide and varied range of bushcraft and other workshops that you can book directly below, however, if your group wants something that is not described or available during your stay, we will be delighted to run a special event just for you.

All team members are trained to Really Wild’s high standards for instructors, and each holds an enhanced DBS check and certificates in first aid and food hygiene too.
