Residential Courses in your School Grounds

Ideas for Activity and Enrichment Weeks

Bring the Adventure in school

Did you know that your children can enjoy an adventure-filled 'residential' without leaving your school grounds! With costs still rising, schools may find an in-school residential a great value alternative to the traditional week away. These activities that are held at your school are perfect if you are looking for activity or enrichment week ideas.

How does it work?

Cut out the travel costs and let the adventure come to you. The companies who run these activity weeks will bring all the equipment and everything else you will need, to your school. Choose whether you want activities for a single day, a couple days, or a full activity week. Want the children to sleep under canvas on school grounds - we can help with that too.
