Primary Schools : Adventure Trips in the UK

Our Multi-Activity courses can be taken at any of our centres across the UK. These courses encourage each individual to set their own goals for every challenge.

Our new Primary to Secondary Transition Course links adventure activities with personal development goals, giving pupils an excellent grounding for their transfer to Secondary school.

For courses that combine elements of study - such as Science, Maths and ICT - with an adventure activity trip - please see our Adventure & Study Courses for Primary Schools section.
