TESTIMONIALS
I joined having no camping experience at all and left full of confidence. Andy was an excellent tutor, his mix of theory and practice was perfect. He has a fantastic confidence and loves to meet people from all walks of life. I will have great memories of this course for the rest of my life. Cheers man.
Can’t say enough good things about this course, the “ learning” part of the course was set out extremely well and obviously taught with a great deal of knowledge, on my days , from Andy & Ammo, found this very enjoyable and learn’t so much. On to the assessment, which was tough but so pleased I saw it through (some people don’t) as it’s not a walk in the park and mentally challenging as well as physical, but ultimately extremely rewarding.
If your thinking of doing it, do it, you won’t be disappointed .
From start to finish this course in Staffordshire was interesting and enjoyable. My 11 year old daughter Isla thoroughly enjoyed it , from lighting fires to building shelter.
Andy was a great teacher for the children and the whole weekend was fantastic.
What an amazing experience. I came on this course not knowing anyone else and was really nervous to start with. I had no need to be. Andy our instructor put everybody at ease and the course flowed effortlessly. The teaching was made fun and memorable.
Andy’s knowledge on the subject was first class and the way he kept things simple made all the difference. There was plenty of time to practice the techniques taught and ask any questions.
The course at Cannock Chase was excellent, my 11year old son loved it.
The two instructors, Andy W & Cat were brilliant through out the whole course at keeping all the Young Survivors interested and motivated, there was a great balance between teaching, coaching and having fun, my son was challenged outside of his comfort zone.
I would personally recommend this Young Survivors course 100%, you won't regret it.
I highly recommend this course. Joe has tremendous knowledge on map reading , use of compass and navigation and is an excellent teacher. Ammo is most caring and made sure everyone make the best out of the weekend, while feeling safe and having a good time.
Thank you both for the unforgettable weekend.

Most courses finish at 4pm on the last day, this can be influenced by the skills of the people on the course or the weather, sometimes we may finish slightly earlier or slightly later, but we will aim for 4pm.
Unlike other Survival Schools, when our courses say 3 days, they are 3 days, beware of schools that start at 5pm or 7pm on the first day and finish at 10am on the last day. Our courses are full days.
