Do you need help to get the kids off screen or get them inspired to try mini adventures outdoors? I know I do. At the end of a busy week it can be hard to find the motivation to think of things to occupy the children.
Mission Adventure could be the answer!
It’s a home delivery adventure box subscription for kids aged 7 to 11. Delivered direct to your door once a month it contains great ideas to get the kids outside learning new skills.

Even better, 100% of the cost of the boxes goes towards The Royal British Legion, so your kids will have great fun outdoors whilst supporting a worthy charity too.
Gift Subscription
I’m always on the look out for unusual and sustainable children’s gifts and this would be an ideal birthday or Christmas gift subscription for kids.
Caroline checking out this month’s Mission Adventure navigation guide
Mission Adventure is a brand new fundraising project by The Royal British Legion so initially it will run for 4 consecutive months.
Simply sign up via their website (see below) and your outdoor adventurers will soon receive their first adventure box in the post!
Mission Adventure Pack Contents
We received the first box to review last week, the perfect size to fit through the letterbox and made from fully recyclable cardboard; no plastic in sight which gets top marks from me.
The first month’s mission is navigation and includes an adventurer’s tool to keep – a working metal compass which Caroline thought was very cool!
Each box includes a Mission Adventure guide leaflet with three mini adventure missions to work on and complete, mission log pages with room for personal notes and fun facts and information on a famous adventure explorer. The missions include making your own compass, navigation skills and team games
There are also stickers and a tracker sheet to record each of the four missions as they are completed. Our tracker sheet is on Caroline’s pinboard awaiting update. The upcoming three missions are: –
- Bushcraft
- Secret Communication
- Exploration
Caroline can’t wait!
We’re going to work on our first mission this weekend – I’ll add some photos once we’ve done them.
Special Offer – 50% off first box
The subscription costs £7.99 per month for four months, and the fabulous people at Mission Adventure have offered all Kids of the Wild readers a special discount of £4 off your first adventure box.
Use the code KIDSOFTHEWILD at checkout.
Sign up for your subscription at the Mission Adventure website here or learn more on their Facebook page.
Wild wishes for brilliant outdoor adventures with your kids. I’d love to hear how they get on with their missions – please let me know in the comments below.

What a great idea, just the sort of thing my son would love to try out too #CountryKids
It’s a great idea isn’t it, and all for charity. Let me know if you give it a go
I love the fact that the money goes directly to the charity and what a great cause it is #CountryKids
Absolutely! And getting people outdoors too. Perfect
these sound like a nice idea, and would make an ideal Christmas present from a grandparent.
Ideal from grandparents, I hadn’t thought of that! Thanks for reading
What a brilliant idea and such a fun way to encourage children to have fun outdoors. Sophie is a little young for this at the moment but I could imagine this would be something she would enjoy in a couple of years. Hope you and Caroline have fun on your navigation missions. #CountryKids
Thanks Louise, I lost my voice to a horrible cough over the weekend so we stayed in. Hopefully we’ll get on it this weekend.
One for me to bookmark when mine are a bit older – thanks! #adventurecalling
Brill! Thanks for popping by
These look like such a cool idea: a really good way to get more kids outside and raising money for such a deserving cause. Thanks for joining us #adventurecalling
I agree, I hope it does really well for the Royal British Legion. Wild wishes to you and yours for a great Christmas and new year
I’ve thought about getting Finn a subscription box of some sort (mainly as I struggle to keep coming up with ideas to keep him occupied!) and this looks fab. It’s a really inventive way to raise money for a good cause. I look forward to seeing how you an Caroline get on. Thanks for sharing #AdventureCalling
It’s certainly a great idea though with Christmas we haven’t had a chance to try all the activities yet. Unbelievable! Wild wishes to you and the family for a great Christmas and new year
Aw wow! This looks brilliant! Definitely something for the boy when he is a bit older.

I think they’ll continue the boxes if it does well. Hope so, it’s a good cause. Wild wishes for an adventure-filled 2019
Thank you – you too
