The school is a registered charity (1208967) and operated by Craig Harrison, a former army sniper, and veteran. Since childhood Craig has had an interest in nature and the environment, his life story and his experience are described in
his bestselling book "The Longest Kill" as well as a number of guest appearances on various podcasts. 

Since leaving the army with complex PTSD, Craig has comprehensively studied survival skills and completed a nationally recognised instructors course. Due to his experience throughout his career carrying out 10 tours, Craig has an individual understanding of the challenges faced by people with PTSD. You can find 

The course is supported by Ross Hoar, a Gestalt psychotherapist with nearly 40 years experience in mental health, criminal justice system, drug addiction and eating disorders. Ross has a broad range of skills working with people who have endured extraordinary traumatic experiences. Through working together, it is hoped that the Maverick Survival School will provide a time for people to be in an environment that is nurturing, natural and challenging. we fully recognise that a full day or full weekend is not going to "cure or takeaway" the impact of trauma or PTSD, however, being in a woodland environment can help to bring attention to "life".

The school offers level 2 and level 3 training and classes of up to 6 people. Although Maverick Survival School can offer support to people with trauma and PTSD this is by no means exclusive and we welcome all ages to the school.
