Go Wild at Hudnall

Helping children and young people connect with nature and improve their wellbeing

Go Wild at Hudnall offers children and young people the chance to improve their social, emotional, and physical skills. Through a variety of young person led activities and experiences, they will get a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them, supporting their overall learning and development.

Our sessions encourage curiosity, creative exploration, and learning outside the classroom, teaching important life skills, building resilience, and improving self-confidence in a nurturing environment.

Activities may include nature-based mindfulness, art in nature, wood whittling, den building, wildlife tracking and identification, team games, campfire cooking, and fire lighting. 

There are also opportunities to become a volunteer, helping us to create and improve wildlife habitats on site throughout the year. 

Who is Go Wild for?

Go Wild sessions are for any children and young people aged 5 to 24, but may be especially beneficial for those who:

  • are at risk of, or living with, emotional wellbeing issues or mental ill health
  • are in care or care leavers
  • have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)

We offer a variety of sessions for children and young people.

Organisations, including schools and colleges, charities and support services, can make group bookings for up to 12 children or young people for the Wild Wellbeing, Wild About, Forest School, or Wilderness Days sessions.

If young people are being educated in 'alternative provision' settings, for example, an education support centre, individual or group bookings can be made onto our alternative provision group sessions.

Parents and carers can book children and young people onto our home education group sessions or school holiday events directly.
