WILD AND FREE. Happy and outside—just like we used to be.
welcome to the wild
ECC Adventures’ URBAN To Wild is our way of connecting children with nature.
In an ever-changing landscape, we seem to have just about everything, but not enough time to connect with the outdoors in a meaningful way.
Urban to Wild hopes to change that narrative one child at a time.
Our aim is to provide children meaningful opportunities to explore nature, learn practical outdoor skills and take on age-appropriate challenges. Our programmes include outdoor-skills sessions, nature-based play, weekend hiking adventures, camps and customised school programmes across the UAE. Children can join individual activities or progress through regular experiences that build skills, confidence and independence over time.
