Services for Schools
Interested in booking a visit?
Our aim is to give your children a ‘hands-on, minds-on' learning experience to enrich both their academic and social development.
Children who visit us for the day will work with their teacher(s) and a member of our staff, to follow the programme of study that will have been agreed and planned beforehand with their teacher.
We also offer residential visits where children can spend time on their studies, and also get the benefit of the adventure of being with their friends away from home.
Our instructors greet each group on arrival and work with the children from 09.30 to 15.30, with a lunch break to fit the chosen programme.
The Booking Process

Step 2: Confirm date/s, expected numbers and activity options.
Step 3: You will receive our deposit invoice which must be paid within 14 days in order to confirm your booking.

First Night Away From Home
We have compiled a list of essentials to make their stay comfortable, without overloading them with unnecessary belongings.
Whilst our dorms and tents are comfortable, they do not offer storage, so your child will be living out of their bag for a night or two.

What will they Eat?
We supply all our catered groups with our menu options well in advance of their visit, so you can help your child to select their food for the duration of their stay.
Evening meals are cooked by a local caterer and delivered to site, breakfast is self-serve cereals, pain au chocolat, bacon sandwiches, fruit juice & toast, with a varied buffet style lunch made fresh each day.
We can offer alternatives for some specific dietary requirements as long as we are aware from their group leaders well ahead of the visit. Equally if parents prefer to send food for a child with severe allergies, we have a microwave where staff can heat food up.
