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. Whatever you choose it will be fun.
