Fresh air and physical activity are powerful remedies for improving students’ mental and physical wellbeing. And as the wetter weather (hopefully!) subsides, there are lots of opportunities to plan experiences that encourage learning and development out in nature. Here are our school trip ideas to make the most of the great outdoors!
Brockholes Nature Reserve, Preston - This unique floating visitor village offers spectacular lake views as well as plenty of woodland and meadow habitats to explore on a day visit. Led by the centre’s educational teams, school groups of up to 105 children are able to go pond dipping, learn bushcraft, explore environmental art, find out about the stone age, and more…
Blencathra Field Centre, Lake District - From primary to A-level and day trips to 5 day courses, this field centre has something for everyone. Students can try their hands at rock climbing and low ropes or take on geography investigations and river studies. Based in the picturesque surroundings of the Lake District and guided by Field Studies staff, any trip is bound to be memorable too!
Adventure Beyond, Wales - Students have the opportunity to develop skills for life at this family-run outdoor activity centre. Through fun, comfort zone-busting experiences such as kayaking, raft building and coasteering, they’re challenged to improve their teamwork and decision making skills and develop their self-discipline and esteem – all designed to positively impact your students in the long run.
