Forest of Dean – Waddow Hall
School Trips @ Atlas Adventure
Home / Residentials North / Lancashire
We have been running multi activity adventure trips for Schools for long enough to know what the challenges are from a School perspective and we work hard with you right from the very start to make the process and easy as possible.
The Forest of Bowland is a beautiful area in the north west which is well placed to groups from Manchester/Birmingham/Newcastle.
Your students will be accommodated in an 'atlas village' in our good quality, modern campsite with great wholesome food. They will have modern equipment and have our experienced and fun instructors who are great at helping the students develop and really get stuck into the activities.
All of packages are are available with a host of extra activities for the evenings and additional excursions to sample local markets and culture.



Why book Atlas Adventure for Residential School Trips and Educational Visits?
On our adventure trips to the Forest of Bowland students will have a great time! We have been 'using the great outdoors to great effect' since 2007.
We work hard to tailor programmes to the specific needs and budgets of our guests to ensure accessibility and we genuinely want every student to be able to experience these fabulous days in the countryside and get the benefit that outdoor learning has to offer.
We are delighted to welcome many groups back to the resort year after year which would suggest we have got the recipe right.
We understand how daunting it can be offering a School Adventure Trip which is why we offer a level of service and care that we believe is unmatched.
