Outdoor activity school residentials provide young people with unrivalled opportunities and educational experiences gained through adventure. We will help design a week that fits your group's goals, desires and aims.
​
Expanding comfort zones and building resilience:
Outdoor adventure allows young people to expand their comfort zone, build resilience, and grow confidence.
​
Looking after their well-being and mental health:
We care deeply about the well-being of all young people who come to visit us and promote a positive attitude towards mental health.
​
Developing environmental awareness:
Spending time outdoors allows for a better understanding, knowledge and connection with nature.
Creating stronger relationships:
Students build and develop better relationships and communities with their peers and their teachers.
​
Engaging with learning outside the classroom:
Learning outside the classroom can assist in curriculum-focused activities, independent learning, team working, creativity and important life skills.
Our school outdoor education residentials are available all year round. ​
​
Let us organise it all: fully catered from your first evening meal to your last lunch. You'll have exclusive accommodation and activities every day. We'll design an action-packed school trip with a range of adventurous activities, focused on the values of outdoor, adventure and growth.
