“Lost Earth Adventures put on a fantastic day for our Year 6 children. Their staff had a great rapport with the children, encouraging everyone to get involved, but at the same time maintaining high standards of professionalism & safety throughout. I highly recommend them to schools wanting their children to experience fantastic outdoor adventurous activities.”

Matt Letham – Head Master, Orchard Head Primary School

It was great to see pupils emerge as natural leaders, share ideas and work through the tasks. The level of commitment and support shown for each other was outstanding and even the more nervous pupils helped support their teammates down tricky sections, whilst everyone cheered each other as they got lowered down steep waterfalls.

Thanks to the school staff and outdoor activity provider, Lost Earth Adventures, for organising such a great trip.
