Popular Destinations For Residentials trips
What is a residential trip?
A residential trip is an action-filled experience for school groups, typically lasting 3-7 days (you may know it better as ‘activities week’). For the duration of the trip, you’ll be based at an activity centre in the UK, taking part in outdoor challenges and activities.
Where can we go on a school residential?
You can choose from a really exciting range of destinations for your school residential trip, including Cornwall, Devon, Lee Valley, Nottingham, the Lake District, the Peak District, and the West Midlands.
Our Travel Advisers know our destinations extremely well, so if you’re struggling to decide where to go for your school residential, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
What activities can we take part in?
Activity weeks are often one of the highlights of the school calendar and something that students really look forward to. That’s because they allow them to enjoy new, fun-filled experiences.
Water sports are a particular favourite. Holme Pierrepont is home to the National Water Sport Centre and Lee Valley was the venue for the London 2012 canoeing events, so both of these destinations offer excellent facilities for canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and more water-based activities.
You can also try a number of adventure sports, such as ghyll climbing. The Lake District offers a spectacular setting in which to try these sports for the first time.
If you want your students to enjoy a real mix of activities, our centres in Devon and the West Midlands are great all-rounders. Your students can have a go at assault courses, building shelters, high ropes, archery and pedal go-karting, as well as surfing, skiing and snowboarding!
What's the benefit of a school residential trip?
Our residential trips offer a wide range of activities that will help your students to develop their personal and social skills. From team building exercises to immersing themselves in history and culture, these are experiences that your students will never forget.
After one of our trips, your students will return with a greater self-confidence, improved communication skills and a real sense of pride in their achievements. They’ll be more motivated to learn new skills and may even have developed some new friendships.
And, of course, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to work together in a much less formal setting, helping to develop relationships between teachers and students – ready to achieve more together in the academic year.
