Wild Wonder and Wisdom is a Community Interest Company (C.I.C) that seeks to empower young people through outdoor education.  Kathy King, the founder of WW&W is an experienced teacher of 18 years and qualified outdoor education facilitator running Forest School sessions since 2007.  She has also qualified as an outdoor instructor meaning that WW&W is able to offer indoor wall climbing, cycling, kayaking, canoeing, trail running, sea swimming, snorkelling and SUP as part of our outdoor education provision.  We also collaborate with lots of local, like-minded sole traders and social enterprises to bring you a varied menu of activities and sports.

We focus on boosting Emotional Literacy (self-confidence, self-belief, social skills, self-regulation and empathy) and have recently started to concentrate on ‘Momentary Happiness’ where we tune into how the physical activity combined with the natural blue and green spaces we are doing them in affects our mood.  We try to capture how ‘excited’, ‘happy’ ‘content’ and ‘relaxed’ we are feeling before, during and after our sessions.  We hope that this mindful acknowledgment of how our moods change will start to condition participants to learn what natural spaces and what types of activities improve their mood the most.
