Adventure Residential Trips

TYF School Trips

Why book 'Adventure Residential Trips' with TYF for Residential School Trips and Educational Visits?

Pembrokeshire is a spectacular location for adventures. One of the main reasons schools choose TYF is because we offer real adventures - all of our activities take place in the rugged natural playground of the coast. Being on a peninsular, we can always find perfect locations for beginners and improvers alike. The gently shelving sandy beaches have full blue flag status and are perfect for learning to play in the waves. Coasteering is also great for complete beginners - led by highly qualified guides, pupils will have new experiences which they will remember for the rest of their lives whilst being immersed in amongst marine wildlife and stunning seascapes.

Much of our everyday lives are now filled with technology and pressure - and we are seeing an increase in inactivity amongst young people, leading to physical and mental health problems. TYF are on a mission to revolutionise the future for young people - using adventure and the great outdoors, along with a highly qualified and passionate team of guides. We work with low ratios so that we can provide attention and support to pupils, without compromising on the experiences for pupils. Teachers see the positive results in the kids.

Who are TYF?

TYF has been running for over 35 years delivering adventure residential trips for schools. We currently work with up to 40 schools and colleges year-round to help provide outdoor adventures and challenges for pupils to build some of the most important life skills they will need.
This includes but is not limited to, the confidence to try new things, practice teamwork, learn leadership, courage and to fall in love with the coastal environment and wildlife.
Our core activities are coasteering (which we pioneered in 1986), surfing, climbing and abseiling, and kayaking. Each of our sessions focuses on nature connection at the heart of the objective, we want to help teach pupils the importance of the outdoors and what they can do to help our planet against the growing climate emergency.
Each programme is built bespoke to your needs, and we will source accommodation locally for you, as well as organising travel arrangements. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for you to provide a life-changing adventure residential for your pupils.
