Bear Grylls Survival Academy was launched in the UK in 2012 with the intensive 5 day Survival in the Highlands Course in Scotland. Since then, the UK Academy has launched a 24 Hour Family Course aimed at parents and children, a 24 Hour Adult Course and Ultimate Team Building courses for the corporate market.

What they say...
We had a super fun day. It was all very entertaining and nothing super difficult or scary as some of the team feared when they discovered it was a Bear Grylls event.
We only had one member refusing to "mud up" 😂
Quite a few of the team now have an interest in taking up shooting. 😊
We would definitely consider doing another event with you and possibly a little more adventurous next time!
The instructors were super competent, fun and encouraging and every activity was explained clearly.
I didn't really know what to expect from the course but even what I got was a shock to the system. This course is full on, with the most professional instructing team I have ever come across. Get your boots on tight because it's an absolute whirlwind!

The BGSA are an exceptional team of people and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They created an exceptional day which allowed everyone to challenge and push themselves whilst recognizing limits and abilities - the result was a day that developed teamwork, bonding, fun, laughter, competition and increased knowledge. The instructors were open and approachable and went out of their way to guide and assist without encroaching. I would encourage any company to book BGSA at various levels of the organisation - I know we will be doing so again soon.
When we signed up for the Bear Grylls Survival Academy experience for our corporate away days we were a little nervous to say the least, however it turned out to be undoubtably one of the most memorable experiences for all of us. Each member of staff came away having pushed their limits, tried things they never thought they'd do, and ultimately every one of them had the most amazing time! Even those in the team who aren’t as outdoorsy as the others got stuck right in, thanks to the encouragement of their teammates and the support of the great instructors we had on hand.
We're so thankful to the Bear Grylls Survival Academy for providing us with a once in a lifetime experience, which they tailored to our exact group size and needs. The team at BGSA made the booking experience a dream, and with the amazing instructors on hand we all felt safe, secure and in great spirits throughout the entire course – despite the rain!
We'd definitely recommend the Bear Grylls Survival Academy to any company looking for a truly unique and memorable team building experience.
