Human Geography School Trip

Our Geography field trips are mega! Combine traditional fact-finding geography trips with authentic adventure. Experience the Jurassic Coast by kayak, paddle board or coasteering.
Swanage is a prime location to study tourism and coastal erosion. You have everything on your doorstep. Our knowledgable tutors can bring the subject to life and provide a memorable Geography field trip for all ages.
Bushcraft School Trip
Bushcraft at its most authentic. Fire! Shelter! Feast! Join us in our ancient woodland for an atmospheric Bushcraft session for children and young adults.
Children learn essential survival skills including friction fire lighting techniques, shelter building and archery in the trees. This promotes focus, concentration, resilience and a wider understanding about the world around us.
We can even provide extended Bushcraft skills for older more experienced school groups such as wild game prep, fish prep and campfire cookery skills.
Nothing beats an adventure in the woods - the environment fosters a fantastic sense of calm within a school group.
