Rootd Adventure School Activity Centre Hertfordshire

Schools choose a Rootd adventure day for a variety of reasons:

• To encourage teamwork and bonding at the beginning of the year
• To celebrate the end of a successful summer term
• To support a curriculum topic and embed new learning
• As a taster for a future residential trip
• If the year group doesn’t have a residential scheduled for the year

Depending on your objectives for the day, when you book an adventure day with us you can choose from one of our three themed adventure days:

Wild survivors

• Children are fully immersed in the natural environment as they learn the essential survival skills needed to thrive in the outdoors, such as fire making, shelter building and outdoor cooking.

Adventurers Unite

• With team challenges and adrenaline-fuelled activities, such as buggy building and navigating the high ropes, collaboration is a must on this action-packed day.

Nature Explorers

• Children are encouraged to explore the woodland as they learn how to identify our local trees, search together for their favourite minibeast friends or take part in a team scavenger hunt.

Term time residential trips.

Schools are continually impressed by the quality of our residential trips, and we regularly receive five-star reviews.

Here are just some of our recent testimonials: https://rootd-adventure.com/our-reviews/

Our Hertfordshire centre is set in beautiful woodlands within an hour of Central London.

The centre is easily accessible from:

• M25 – Junction 20 (five minutes away)
