School life comes with a whole load of challenges which many pupils may find daunting. Whether it’s joining a new school, moving up a year or changing teachers and classmates – a young person can find dealing with such significant emotional and intellectual changes very difficult.
One way to cope with such transitions, is to include outdoor adventure opportunities into to the curriculum. Whether it’s a 2-day, 3-day or week-long trip, this is a real opportunity for students to bond with each other and their teachers in a new environment, away from the classroom. Without the pressure of school and with the benefits of being in the great outdoors, students can make decisions, work together, push boundaries and build confidence. They will develop the ability to tackle the new and unfamiliar head on and with confidence. Embracing such challenge will see them returning to school with a positive outlook, a 'can-do' attitude and raring to face whatever lies ahead.
At Rockley we can offer bespoke trips that will fully engage your pupils. With such a huge variety of activities our packages can include activities that will benefit both primary and secondary school age pupils. Our locations and types of activities - both water and land-based, are all selected so that you can get the very best out of your students with the aim of them returning to school energised and full of enthusiasm.
We are fully aware that for some primary school children, this will be their first time away from home without their parents, and this can be a very daunting prospect for them. Our Instructors are carefully selected not only for their experience, but also for their ability to understand, communicate, encourage and get the best out of your young people. We are dedicated to offering nothing but a positive experience, where your pupils feel comfortable and safe in the environment they are in. We want them to leave us feeling that they have achieved some incredible things - things they would never have thought possible, while at the same time having had a whole lot of fun doing it!
Depending on what your objectives are as a school, we can offer many spoke packages that can align with the outcomes you want to achieve. For some, you may want to celebrate an exceptional year with a fun-based trip away. Our fantastic range of activities will appeal to all secondary school age pupils with enough variety to really challenge and excite them. This can also be combined with an excursion to the Dorset Adventure Park where your pupils can enjoy the amazing inflatable outdoor water park or challenge themselves on the mud trail obstacle assault course.
If you are looking for a more educational-based adventure, our UK centres are the ideal base to arouse your geographical and natural field interests. Combine a week of adventurous activities with some fantastic visits to some amazing locations. The Jurassic stretch of coastline with its 185 million years of geographical history makes it a popular location for geography fieldwork. With Studland, Old Harry Rocks, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door on your doorstep, you'll be spoilt for choice.
