about us
Olympians. Emergency responders. Humanitarian leaders. Safety professionals. Wilderness experts.
We’ve spent our lives responding to emergencies, competing at the highest levels of sport, working in high-risk environments, exploring the natural world and raising our own kids.
One thing those worlds have in common?
Nobody remembers the briefing. They remember the experience.
The hard moments. The big laughs. Often, they’re the same thing.
They also gave us the quiet confidence that we’d figure things out.
That’s how Into the Wild began.
Founded in 2021 by Jos and Ting, Into The Wild was created to give kids experiences that challenge them, surprise them and leave them more capable than when they arrived.
Meet the people behind the adventure.
