A residential experience with challenging activities and positive experiences away from school or college is often just what young people need to take their development and learning to the next level.
We work with schools and colleges to develop residential courses which meet your aims.
Courses can focus on:
- Personal Development, Confidence, Self-awareness, Taking Responsibility
- Team Development, Teambuilding, Respect for Others & Cooperation
- Outdoor Activity Skills Development
- Covering aspects of your curriculum
- Environmental Awareness
- Enjoyment, Celebration and Fun
The benefits of a residential experience
Living and working closely in a residential setting helps young people to develop understanding and awareness of each other, whilst adventurous outdoor activities help them to become more aware of their own strengths and abilities. Learning to manage their own safety in real situations through problem solving and challenging outdoor activities helps to develop responsibility and maturity. All together, this experience leads to lasting results – translating into higher classroom attainment and more rounded young people who are better prepared for life ahead.
