A school camp can be an unforgettable experience for students where they get out of the classroom and experience all the splendour the natural world has to offer. It can get them out of their comfort zones and away from the trappings of the modern world so they can connect and make memories that will last a lifetime. Here are a few of the essential ways in which our camp can enrich a child’s life:
Our goal for school camps is to create a fun and exciting learning environment where students can learn confidence and self-empowerment while experiencing the splendour of our natural environment. We offer many benefits, making the experience easy for teachers and parents who accompany the students, including the following:
The activities we offer our school campers will likely be the highlight of their camping experience, with the close connections they form together a close second. With our freshwater lagoon and large wilderness area, we offer a wide range of activities, tailored to meet the needs of different age and skill groups. Here is a brief overview of what we can offer on & offsite:
● Our freshwater lagoon provides an ideal opportunity to learn new skills and important safety procedures around water. We offer a variety of water based activities that are suited to different age groups & we are able to tailor our lessons according to your groups needs. We also use local off-site locations for exploring the marine environments, playing games and learning more advanced skills in the ocean. Our activities provide a mixture of challenging, fun, & problem solving experiences for all.
● An opportunity to learn about the natural world, including the exciting variety of animals and plants native to the area, which can be transformative for young minds. Our excellent night walk & night experience programmes offer a way to explore the often-hidden world of nocturnal wildlife with our experienced instructors.
● We offer a large amount of land based activities. With teamwork being one of the many focuses of school camps, our activities vary in the ability to serve different needs/focus for groups. A lot of our activities offer the chance to work in small & large groups, challenging one another & themselves as they learn whilst having fun! Most people taking part in outdoor adventure activities share common goals: they may want to learn or improve skills, build
confidence and trust, improve communication or get to know one another. Our instructors help to facilitate this by working alongside the participants & helping to meet everyone’s needs along the way.
With our camp programme, we offer much more than a school trip accommodation. Your students will gain a new appreciation for nature and the importance of sustainable living while having the time of their life with our fun, educational activities. Our programme can help to encourage growth with physical, social, emotional, and intellectual challenges that stress teamwork, problem-solving and communications.
