The Junior Explorers Back to the Wilderness course has been an amazing find! We are stunned by Ray’s incredible knowledge of nature and survival and we and our son truly enjoy the professional, engaging, informative and exciting way in which Ray shares his valuable knowledge and skills, enabling the children to learn about and immerse themselves in nature and survival. We highly recommend this course to everyone and thank Ray very much for the opportunity!

Rohan has just completed this year’s Junior Explorers Club run by Ray at Back to Wilderness, it’s been an amazing 9 months, with it being spread over the year, you’re made more aware of your surroundings and nature, I think that all the children on the course (and their parents as well) have learnt so much.
From fire lighting, making natural cordage from stinging nettles, and shelter building, to natural navigation; Rays expert knowledge, passion and huge personality have encouraged, educated, and developed all of our interest in Bushcraft and survival skills.
I would say that at the time I had concerns on the subject of knives, but was particularly impressed with Ray’s engaging, and enlightening teachings on knife sharpening and knife law which also covered cutting safety and different cutting techniques, and with Ray’s guidance the children excelled.
A great course, a great teacher – we’ll be going back for 2018

My youngest son Joel has just completed the back to wilderness junior explorers club expertly ran by Ray from back to wilderness. Having a son that is really passionate about being outdoors, this course was a dream come true for him. The course is very well structured covering fire lighting techniques, making and cooking damper bread, knife law, knife cutting safely, knife cutting techniques, building shelters, natural navigation, natural cordage, knife sharpening and foraging for food. Ray is extremely knowledgable, and amazing with the kids (and parents, I certainly learned a great deal accompanying my son on the course). It’s spread out over the year so you get to see the forest in all seasons and learn how things change and become useful to you at different times. This course is highly recommended by my son and my family.

My 9 year old daughter has just finished the Junior Explorers Club and really enjoyed it.
She has learnt many new skills and the course has given her appreciation for her surroundings.
Ray is so passionate about all he teaches and this really shows. His knowledge is fantastic and his patience with the children was great.
Highly recommend this course.
