School Adventure Days & Residentials

Outdoor education that gets children moving, building confidence and working as a team. Exclusive use of the site, flexible activities, qualified instructors and a team that understands what schools need.

Why schools choose us for outdoor learning

Every activity is accessible. There are no high ropes or activities that leave hesitant children sitting on the sidelines. If a pupil isn't keen on the water, they switch to archery or bushcraft. We're specialists in SEND, so every child can join in and thrive.

Schools have been coming here for over 20 years, from as far as Liverpool and Birmingham. For urban schools especially, a day in the Shropshire countryside is a proper escape from the classroom.

Built Around Your School

Every programme is tailored to your pupils. Here's what comes with every school visit:

Safety & Paperwork Sorted

Full insurance and comprehensive risk assessments, with accreditations including Rescue 3 International, Paddle UK and the BHS. The BHS has described our paperwork as the best they've seen. Prefer a signed declaration instead? We can do that too.

Flexible Timings

Timings are built around your school day, from drop off to pick up. The day can be shortened to fit within school hours if you need it to.

Come And See Us

New to us? Come and see the site before you book. Walking the woodland and lake in person is the best way to picture the day for your pupils.

Planning A Residential?

Two days and one night with exclusive use of our glamping village. Pupils sleep in bell tents while staff relax in the comfort of the glamping pods. Campfires, evening games and fully catered meals, including a barbecue, make it the perfect way to unwind after a day of activities.
