Trips and Expeditions

Each year in the Spring term, pupils in Years 1 to 9 attend an Adventure Camp. In the Pre-Prep School (Years 1 to 5) Adventure Camps and Sleepovers develop familiarity and confidence with new skills in the outdoor environment. In the Prep School (Years 6 to 8), pupils build on their foundation of confidence, solving problems collaboratively, learning new skills, in new environments for additional challenge, with a wider adventure option choice.

These challenging and fun expeditions provide valuable learning experiences outside the academic classroom. They also involve a service or ecological aspect to encourage pupils to reflect on their positive contribution to community or the environment. Pupils enjoy these trips, and all activities on camp are well within their capabilities, but they are encouraged to grow ‘out of their comfort zone.’’ The camps present the opportunity for personal growth and increased resilience, when “facing challenges with determination”.
