Thanks to the generous support of the John and Cath Charitable Foundation, we were able to provide three unforgettable days of fun, challenge, and connection for a group of care experienced children and young people.

We saw confidence grow, friendships form, and memories made that will last a lifetime. Thank you for helping make such a positive difference. 🌟

Some fantastic feedback from the Youth Adventure Trust, who we are proud to partner with every year for their Summer Camps.

"The staff team always go above and beyond to make sure our trips are memorable, impactful, and enjoyable. We saw our young people grow in confidence and resilience through the week and this is in no small part due to the dedication, empathy and commitment the Call of The Wild staff show every time we work with them. This is what sees us come back year after year. We cannot recommend Call of The Wild enough and we are already looking forward to our next visit in 2027"

Not for maths. Not for homework. For our Resilience Programme! 💪🌟

Just one way to keep cool. This is the kind of office day I like!

With the current hot weather, it’s easy to be drawn to the water—but this is also a reminder of how important it is to stay safe. The right supervision, safety equipment, and guidance make all the difference in turning something risky into something truly empowering.
I’m so proud to be part of a charity that helps build confidence and create opportunities like this. 💙

We love this! 🥰
