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.
Tell us what is important to you. Are you looking for a health and well-being experience, or a week filled with challenging activities?
We work with a handful of specialists who have years of experience in bringing the residential experience to your school. In school activities might include the likes of Mountain Biking, Archery, Catapult Building and Bug Hunting and the activities can be tailored to your group's individual needs. Children can sleep in luxury tented accommodation and everything from risk assessments to National Governing Body qualified instructors is taken care of. Have a browse through the options below and see whether one of these on-site in school residential trips would be a good option for your school.
Working with a huge number of residential providers throughout the UK, we get a great insight into how residential school trips change year to year and how new ways of engaging children outside the traditional classroom environment are made available to teachers. Over the last few years an amazing variety of innovative products have been shared here on PlanMySchoolTrip, with new ideas being added all the time.
While the traditional residential school trip remains popular, running activity days or weeks in your school grounds is another option you may consider.
