The Lake District is a spectacular setting for any trip and, with its 21 large bodies of water, it’s ideal for a school watersports tour!
As well as enjoying a number of water-based activities such as canoeing, kayaking and sailing, you’ll also be able to try ghyll scrambling and archery! You’ll even enjoy some great team building activities such as high ropes and raft building.
On your school watersports tour to the Lake District, you’ll stay onsite, right by the water, in purpose-built group accommodation. Not only will this allow you to be right where the action is, you’ll also be able to relax and enjoy your beautiful surroundings as you prepare for another adrenaline-fuelled day in the Lake District!
