Bear Grylls Survival School to air on CITV

Adventurer Bear Grylls is bringing a new series to CITV.

Bear Grylls’ Survival School will see a group of kids aged 12-15 leave their much-loved technology behind as they venture into the rugged mountains of Snowdonia in Wales for an action-packed two week trip. Bear and his team will be on hand to teach them all of the tools needed to take on the wilderness, from skills like making a fire and building a shelter to practical techniques such as crossing rivers and abseiling down cliffs.

The youngsters will also learn how teamwork, perseverance and resilience are critical to success. As the series nears its conclusion, they will have to work together and put the skills they’ve learnt into practice to accomplish a challenging survival exercise.

“Young people at heart are so often the greatest of adventurers: determined, focussed, resourceful and team players. This series will test and develop all these qualities in spades. These kids need to be prepared for hardship and blisters, but by the end they will have achieved a pride that only sweat and endeavour can buy. Hold tight for the adventure of a lifetime!” – Bear Grylls

Bear Grylls’ Survival School is co-produced by Potato and Bear Grylls Ventures (BGV) for CITV. The series will air on CITV in early 2016.
