NEW: Year 7 Autumn Induction Residentials School Trip

Students work in smaller groups of around 15 students, aiming to encourage communication and inclusion. The activities are designed so the students work collaboratively to achieve the end goal and realise their own potential. We put their skills to the test in multiple situations where they can truly be challenged in an exciting way. The students will have increased team work skills, resilience and overall personal development.

The Bushcraft Company turns the woods into a living classroom, where students learn by doing as they build shelters, light fires, identify trees and work together to solve real challenges. Every activity is led by specialist instructors and linked to the curriculum, so pupils build practical skills, confidence and resilience while experiencing outdoor learning at its most hands-on and memorable.

Many of our activities encourage the students to be physically active in many ways, including collecting fire wood, wilderness walks and playing woodland games. It is a great way to enjoy fitness in a fun and safe environment. All our activities are designed so that everyone can take part in every activity at the same time. This encourages teamwork and also ensures the students get the most out of every minute on camp, plus there's no queues, therefore they are not simply watching their friends do an activity, they are experiencing every moment too.

Getting back to the great outdoors is the best way to promote healthy living. Many of our activities are physically active, so the students can enjoy exercise in a fun way. Other activities may be less physically active and instead promote mental challenges, encouraging them to be innovative and overcome challenges in an positive way.
We have a fantastic healthy menu on camp, catering for all dietary requirements, plus students can participate in the cooking, giving them the opportunity to learn and have a positive understanding of the food we eat. All activities are designed to build resilience, confidence and teamwork.

Great things happen in the great outdoors! Taking place in the tranquillity of the woods, students will engage and connect with the natural world in a way that possibly they have never done so before. They will go on interesting wilderness walks, learning about the wildlife around us, plus our leaders have a fantastic depth of knowledge and are passionate about the natural world, which they love to share with the students.
