What to expect - Fun, adventure, friendship and much more...
You, as the School's party leaders, choose from over 40 activities , tasks, games and projects, and we write an individual programme for your stay.
The majority of the activities are on site, making the most of the time and ensuring at least six activities per day.
If you wish, there can be an emphasis on teamwork and social skills and/ or the environment and conservation. Additionally the programme can be linked to the Geography or History National Curriculum with a town or river study.
First class outdoor education
Mill On The Brue specialises in offering first class outdoor education and outdoor adventure courses which create the right atmosphere for skills development in many areas. Click here to read some testimonials from past visiting teaching staff

Organic Meals in award winning surroundings
Carefully planned menus with locally sourced produce and our own organic vegetables are served in our environmentally built, award winning 'Longhouse' dining room. Mill on the Brue was selected as runner up in the 2007 BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming Awards.
Bespoke programmes
We understand each group wants different outcomes from their visit and that is why we individually write your programme having asked you for your choice of activities.
To gain an better understand of how the week can vary so much we've written three sample programmes for a typical group spilt into four groups (no more than 12 children in a group).

One to one Instructor
Your instructors will stay with their group for the entire length of the stay. We believe by having the same instructor (no more than 12 students) and an adult staff member of the party there is much more consistency and communication. Relationships between the instructor, students and member of the visiting staff flourishes and increases the level of trust and development of each student.
