Adults
There is absolutely no reason why the kids should have all the fun. Wildly Curious also runs sessions for adults....
Scroll down for information on Training and CPD, Work Events, Hen Days, Campfire Menopause Cafe, Workshops and Twilight Sessions.
Training and CPD
We run professional development training sessions for adult groups - days or half days, for those working in outdoor education or running youth groups. We can tailor our training package according to your group's needs. There can be a focus on pure bushcraft skills or we can combine that with group management strategies.

Campfire Menopause Cafe
We definitely need a better name for this, but nevertheless it is exactly what it sounds like! An evening session for women in the perimenopause, menopause or post menopause to get together, cook, eat, maybe craft and chat over the campfire. We don't claim to have all the answers, but it's great to spend time sharing experiences and tips.
Our next Cafe evening is to be confirmed. Get in touch if you're interested in coming along.
​
"Such a great night, amazing food and company. I didn't think that anything I cooked over an open fire would tastte like that. So inspiring!! Looking forward to the next one."
"Thanks all for the get-together - was so nice to listen and share with friendly and understanding ears around a fire (and with delicious food!)"
