Lifechanging Adventure!
For homeschooled families, it is a rare chance to give your child an experience school can’t replicate: real leadership, resilience, and self-belief forged in the Finnish wilderness. Young people (ages 10+) are guided through a journey that challenges, supports, and transforms — giving them tools that last far beyond the snow.
We have run our expeditions of this kind across more than a decade. Every detail is risk-managed, safety-led, and refined by years of experience. The challenge is genuine, the outcomes are lasting, and the support is constant.
Each participant joins a two-day survival weekend here in the UK. This serves two purposes:
During this weekend, every student is invited to share their hopes, dreams, fears, and aspirations. From this, we create a bespoke personal growth plan for each child. These plans help them overcome personal barriers, build on their strengths, and develop the courage to support others through their own challenges. Growth here is not competitive but compassionate — every student is taught to serve others as well as themselves.
This is more than snow shelters and huskies. The expedition is built around the growth of the whole person. Each young participant comes away with:
These are not classroom theories. They are lived lessons — every day, every decision, every fire lit and meal cooked.
Our instructors are mentors, not just teachers.
The Really Wild team has years of expedition experience working with young people. They have led multiple trips to the Arctic and jungles of the world too.
Our bushcraft leads are highly qualified and experienced bushcraft practitioners, grounding the programme in timeless skills that prepare young people for both wilderness and life.
Together, they ensure a balance of adventure, safety, and life-changing education.
We believe growth is built on balance. Alongside the demanding days, there is space for snowball fights, hot food, warm showers, saunas, and laughter. The expedition pushes young people further than they’ve ever gone before, then brings them into warmth and community to reset and reflect.
We pride ourselves on the outcomes. After every expedition, we have seen students return transformed: stronger, more confident, more resilient. Parents consistently tell us their children come home carrying themselves differently — more independent, more capable, and more aware of what they can achieve.
Your child will not just bring back stories of frozen lakes, huskies, and snow shelters. They will return with a sharpened inner strength, a deeper empathy for others, and a confidence that will serve them for life.
This is Finland. This is survival. This is growth.
