The Action Adventure residential is our most popular school package. Designed to make the most of our location on Dartmoor our wonderful range of both water and land based activities really take the challenges up a level. The benefits of outdoor education and learning outside the classroom are obvious to see every day of your stay.
Schools can benefit from our wealth of expertise and the extensive range of adrenaline-fueled activities that we offer. We are focused on providing that sessions take place within a safe, exciting and challenging environment providing an overall sense of achievement either on or off site. Teamwork is key as the adventure begins.
