Wilderness Skills | Bushcraft | Team Building
Wildeye Adventures is a leading outdoor and environmental education company, specialising in bushcraft and survival skills. We partner with both UK & international schools to deliver immersive, hands-on experiences that build resilience, teamwork, and a deep connection to nature. We are dedicated to promoting outdoor and environmental education, encouraging a deeper connection to nature, while instilling respect for the environment.
Our highly experienced instructors create dynamic and engaging learning experiences in woodland environments, fostering independence, teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills. We work with KS2, KS3, KS4, KS5, KS6, as well as youth, social and community groups.
Through immersive outdoor activities, we encourage young people to step outside their comfort zones, discover new skills and build resilience, independent thinking and leadership abilities. By learning to observe and analyze the natural environment, participants develop essential decision-making skills for challenging situations. Our programs also promote digital detox, allowing young people to take a break from technology and reconnect with the natural world—developing valuable survival skills along the way.
Why Outdoor Education?
Spending time in nature plays a crucial role in psychological development. Learning survival skills teaches resilience, self-sufficiency and the value of a positive mindset—essential qualities for personal growth. By stepping outside their comfort zones, students build confidence and develop a greater appreciation for the natural world.
Our instructors emphasise environmental awareness, educating participants on the importance of protecting ecosystems and respecting wildlife. Through immersive outdoor experiences, we introduce young people to a world beyond screens—one filled with adventure, discovery and inspiration.
Inspiring the Next Generation
Our mission is to empower young people by equipping them with essential survival skills, fostering resilience and encouraging independent thinking. Through outdoor learning, we help youth develop leadership skills, adaptability and a greater awareness of their own potential.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I arranged a bushcraft experience for a group of primary-aged children, and from the very beginning, Yara was professional, efficient, and highly responsive.
The session was incredibly well-structured and very reasonably priced considering the lasting impact on the children. They learned essential skills, including knot-tying, den-building, fire-making, and team challenges. Every single child was engaged, enthusiastic, and left with a sense of achievement.
A truly fantastic experience—we will definitely be booking again!"*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I first met Yara at Camp Wildfire in 2017 when she was working with the Woodland Trust—thanks to her, we planted 10 acres of new woodland! I later attended her bushcraft workshops at Camp Wildfire and absolutely loved them.
Earlier this year, I saw on social media that Yara was leading Forest Bathing sessions in Buckinghamshire. As part of my school’s Adult Mental Health and Environment Teams, I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity for our staff to experience something new in nature. We met in Langley Park for a 1.5-hour guided session, and Yara was fantastic! She encouraged us to fully engage with our surroundings—feeling, smelling, hearing, and even tasting nature. (Did you know pine needles have a citrus-like taste and are packed with nutrients?) As the evening darkened, our senses became even more heightened. We followed the sound of Yara’s flute back to our meeting spot, where she shared fascinating insights into how trees communicate, the benefits of outdoor bacteria for gut health, and the neurobiology behind how forests strengthen our immune system. Her knowledge and passion truly captivated our group. By the time we returned to our cars (without torches!), we felt relaxed, calm, and refreshed. My colleagues messaged me the next morning, still feeling the benefits of the experience—one is even eager to try hammocks on our next outing!
10/10 – We’re already planning our next session!"
