Travel Info

School trips are an important part of a student’s life. They help to make learning more fun, as well as to build certain skills that may be useful as an adult. Trips can also create better bonds between existing and new friends, as well as the teachers – students will get to see their more relaxed side away from the classroom.

Activity trips either in the UK or abroad with lots of fast-paced and different sports can be a great experience for students. Team work, communication and confidence should all be improved on a holiday like this, as well as fitness levels. It should help students to become more physically active even after the trip has ended. This is vital in a day and age where the UK has very high levels of obesity.

All sorts of activities on an adventure for schools trip can be undertaken. Horse riding, trekking, mountain climbing, rock climbing, kayaking, surfing, white water rafting and snorkelling are just some of the options available. As well as taking in new scenery and surroundings, the kids will get to learn new skills and experience a new environment. Watersports are quite popular, especially abroad where the weather is generally a bit warmer. Spain, for example, is ideal for these sorts of activities.

Skiing in mountainous areas, such as the Alps, can also be a popular activity. Snowboarding is another sport that can be experienced here. Travelling in groups works out much cheaper per head, so it can provide an opportunity to students who may not be able to afford something like this with their families.
