With the emphasis firmly on having fun and acquiring new skills, the students will also learn to work together to enjoy a range of adventure experiences.

Designed to promote achievement in the outdoors, the activities make use of the natural environment and students will be encouraged to celebrate and enjoy the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle. If you’re looking for school trip ideas as rewards or to celebrate the end of year, consider Cuffley Active Learning Centre.
