- Develop problem-solving and leadership in real-world scenarios where quick-thinking matters

How can I contact my child during the residential?
We kindly ask that you liaise with your child’s school if you need to get in touch while they are with us.
To help your child get the most out of their residential experience, we encourage minimal contact during their stay. This allows them to fully immerse themselves in the activities, build independence, and enjoy the time away with their peers.
If you have any concerns, rest assured that school staff are on hand and can provide updates as needed.
We also recommend that children do not bring mobile phones. Where schools do allow them, they are usually collected and stored safely for the duration of the trip.
Is there a shop onsite?
There is a small tuckshop onsite, use of which is at the request of the visiting school. Confectionary, drinks and souvenirs are available to purchase in the price region of £1 – £10.
Also Available
We offer custom activity days for families and groups (minimum 5 people).
