Why
book Adventure Beyond for Residential School Trips and Educational Visits?
Our personalised programmes provide the reassurance that everything is taken into consideration when planning your trip. By using accommodation all over Wales, this means we can provide a service in any location whether you're looking to travel a bit further from home or we can bring the adventure to you!
We pride ourselves in encouraging a love and knowledge of the outdoors through a range of activities water based and land based while keeping a high standard of safety. All of our activities provide great benefits for health and well being and provide many learning opportunities.
All our staff are qualified, experienced and dedicated to providing a positive experience. We ensure everyone is allowed a chance to get involved and encouraged to challenge their own abilities and to step out of their comfort zone.
As well as trips to many wondrous locations we also offer the option for the camp to be brought to your schools local area. Although not all locations are suitable it's possible to run a fun camp at school, camping on the grounds and heading out on adventures. This is a more cost effective approach but may not suit all locations.
We’ve included some wonderful feedback we’ve had from schools we have worked with.

Reviews from Schools..
★★★★★ "“The experiences and opportunities that pupils from Narberth School have received through Adventure Beyond have been truly inspirational, exciting and unforgettable. They are a fantastic way to spark the children’s enthusiasm for learning and add a real buzz of excitement at the start of a theme. The children get so much from these activities, not just educationally but also socially they learn to support each other and personally they get to challenge themselves and build their self-esteem and confidence. The staff are professional, helpful and passionate and this has led to both children and teachers stating that these are “The best trips we’ve ever been on!”"
★★★★★ "“We have always loved working with Adventure beyond and have done so for many years. Their staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what they do. They strive to make their activities as adventurous and fun as possible while maintaining strict safety protocols. They are also very good at easing children out of their comfort zones and making unforgettable experiences.
However, this year they have gone above and beyond. Our annual adventure trip to Wales had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions and a last-minute plan was made to go to South Devon. We asked Adventure Beyond if they would be willing to be our activity leader - even though they were not terribly familiar with the area. They agreed and arrived the day before to 'reccy' the area. We had an action-packed week which the kids thoroughly enjoyed, and which was a huge success. This was largely due to the flexibility and expertise of the Adventure Beyond team - we cannot thank them enough.
As would fate would have it, another week long trip for our Year 8s was cancelled and again Adventure Beyond stepped in, sorting accommodation, a week of activities, catering and a team of instructors. We could not be more grateful for their flexibility, organisation and logistics and professional approach. The proof of any school trip is the children's reaction and they loved it; all returning home having had an adventure they will never forget.”"
★★★★★ ""We at Fenton CP School, have been working with Adventure Beyond for the past 5 years. They have been helping us to run our Confidence Club, aimed at children in year 6 that need a bit of a confidence boost before they go off to secondary school. Both Jethro and his staff have been hugely supportive to the school and the pupils by providing suitably challenging and engaging activities to help raise the communication and teamwork skills of the children. We will be continuing to use Adventure Beyond for our future programs as we have been pleased with the delivery of their activities”"
