YHA Chester Trafford Hall School Trip

Alex Rider packages - We've joined forces with Walker Books and author Anthony Horowitz to create unique action-filled Alex Rider adventure packages. This pioneering programme has two adrenaline-fuelled missions, with each pupil creating their very own spy name and immerse themselves in the Alex Rider world. Both packages build lifelong skills centred around team building and outdoor pursuits.

Connecting to nature package - Pupils get the chance to combine nature-based activities with ways to develop mindfulness skills in the great outdoors. Days will be filled with activities such as finding minibeasts, fire-lighting, pond-dipping, scavenger hunts, environmental art and shelter-building. Evenings will be spent around the campfire, toasting marshmallows, telling stories and singing songs under a starlit sky.

Discovery package - Our discovery packages allows teachers to offer a flexible programme of fun and challenging activities. These could include: archaeological dig, egg rockets, environmental art, fencing, habitat building and navigation.

Multi-activity package - Full of challenges for the brain and body our multi-activity packages are designed to engage participants through practical PE-based activity. This package offers a mixture of adventurous and on-site activities that make the most of the great outdoors and the hostel locality.

Adventure bolt-on - There are a near-endless number of opportunities to explore, discover new things and try unusual activities. This package offers a range of adventurous activities on a half-day or full-day basis so you can make your residential trip suit you. Activities include: abseiling, canoeing, high ropes, kayaking and quad biking.

YHA bolt-on - These activities are perfect for teachers to add on as an 'extra' particularly for self-led groups. The benefit of having hostel grounds is that we can offer space to lead activities without you needing to travel anywhere. Activities include: team challenges, shelter building, archery, guided walks and fire lighting.
