What makes us a great choice for education
Every trip is tailored to the specific needs of the school. We can meet your educational requirements with our sessions which are run by highly trained instructors. We have lots of green space, which can be used for lunches, lawn games, or for teachers to chill out!
Once you are on site, our team will run the day and sort out the organisation of each session. In between sessions, we will need the teachers help to get everybody gathered on time. But apart from that, the teachers can sit back and relax.
We can take from 10 to 400 participants per day, spread out across all of the activities. So, whether you want to bring a team, class, year group, or whole school, you can be sure that we will fit you all in.
Accreditation and Awards
We hold AALA, LotC, and RYA accreditations.
What is typically included on our school trips
We have fourteen activities to choose from – either a full day (3 activity sessions) or a half day (1 activity session).
There are also bespoke packages to suit your individual needs.

We can cater for a maximum of 400 participants and a minimum of 10 participants.
Photography, Filming & Audio Restrictions
Photography of your group is permitted with the consent of all participants.

Risk Assessment Details
We do not provide copies of our Risk Assessments, as these are technical documents which use industry terminology and may not be fully understood by those without background knowledge.
Our Risk Assessments and operating procedures are inspected by LoTC, AALA, and RYA annually. We encourage you to undertake your own Risk Assessment of the non-activity elements of your trip and you are more than welcome to visit ahead of time to undertake this.
