Adventurer Programme
A chance to experience a variety of stimulating, practical activity sessions on one new adventure away from school, college or work. Everyone will navigate through the day learning the importance of working together, gaining a taste of independence and inspiring their curiosity and creativity.
The Adventurer Programme brings together and exciting mix of adventure and wild survival, immersing your class or group in nature and encouraging them to utilise the resources in their environment to challenge their perceptions of the natural world. Your group will be taken on a journey of exploration through our adventure environments, with a range of engaging sessions including shelter building, fire lighting and foraging, camp cooking or First Aid and Problem Solving or Awareness of the Natural World.
You can choose a one off session or day visit which includes fun activities based around team building and discovery, or add on a big sleepover for an extra special trip. It’s the perfect taster before embarking on an even bigger adventure in their later years.
This package is ideal for team development, enrichment days, summer schools, induction days and much more!
