THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER! ONLY THE WRONG CLOTHING!
Into The Wild is not only a place for fun, play and learning in nature but also an opportunity for children to build resilience, confidence and perseverance in an authentic setting.
Please make sure your child is well prepared for the day. This includes the right clothing for the weather and season. It’s better to be over-prepared than under-prepared as the day then isn’t as enjoyable as it could be. We recommend a backpack with all gear, and also a large rubber bucket for wet or muddy clothing.
