Survive and Thrive is a 3-hour forest-based experience where students step into nature, switch off from screens, and learn to work together in small teams. Reconnecting teenagers with themselves and the world around them is a space to unplug, breathe deeply, and build resilience within. Finding strength through presence, not through performance. Survive and Thrive is designed to draw out personal inner strengths, helping them to navigate today’s social challenges with confidence and smart choices. This isn’t just another outdoor activity. It’s a space where young people can slow down, breathe deeply, and discover themselves through real nature play. They will: ✔ Build a group shelter (cooperation + creativity) ✔ Learn to light and manage a fire (focus + confidence) ✔ Sit, share, and connect around the campfire (organic chats + real reflection) Instructors don’t just instruct – they highlight ideas, celebrate effort, and encourage confidence from within. Students leave having achieved something real and personal. Sample Programme Larch Hill, Co.
