School trips with a difference
Step outside of the classroom and bring learning to life! We are passionate about outdoors learning and the difference it can make to young people. Not only do our programmes enrich and enhance curriculum learning, but they also aid the holistic personal and social development of young people through positive engagement. Working closely with schools and colleagues in the academic industry, we continue to develop our products and services and tailor our provision.
We want your pupils to develop, discover and nurture their interests and help them to keep physically and mentally healthy, whilst supporting learners to develop their resilience, confidence and independence in a fun and memorable way.
Our activities are great for getting students in the brilliant outdoors and trying something new and different.
Learning and development comes free with all of our activities and experiences.
Our experiences aim to support and enrich school’s curriculum providing activities that both enhance and extend beyond the academic, technical or vocational. From Traditional Tales in the woods for early years, to stepping back in time becoming a Viking warrior to ecology studies for A level students, we have a variety of activities to choose from.

Nurture Groups, Special Needs and One to Ones
We have built up a wealth of experience with young people who require extra support, some of whom come to us on their own or in smaller groups. We can shape the experience to suit the individual by changing the time required to concentrate, the activity, the venue, the repetition and contact required, to gain trust and help individuals develop.
Staff Training and PD Days
Our experiences are bespoke, created to suit your needs. We can provide on-site training in Outdoor Learning, or you may prefer a staff bonding activity off site such as canoeing down the River Severn, for example.
We have you covered
Planning and preparing shouldn't all be about paperwork! We take the hassle and stress out of organising your visit by providing you with all of the necessary risk assessments, kit lists and safety briefings
