RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL TRIPS
Residential school trips at the River Wye Activity Centre are focussed on making a true difference to every child that visits us. Our goal is to provide quality educational school trips and memories that last a lifetime.
Whatever age group, we work closely with you to tailor all indoor and outdoor learning activities to be age appropriate.
For many children this is the first significant time they’ve spent away from home – a scary prospect! However by the end of their school residential adventure trip we guarantee that their confidence will be significantly improved.
Our instructors are highly experienced in working with young children and helping them overcome fears and challenges, They will often bringing out another side which teachers may not have seen before.
HEALTHY & SAFE
For both youth and adults alike, inclusion wherever possible is fundamental to a good education program. It is our mission to continuously improve our facilities so that guests can take part in our activities and feel welcome at our centre.
ACTIVITIES
We can arrange a whole host of activities on site, such as archery, team building and games, as well as having our own launch point immediately adjacent to the River Wye, for canoeing and kayaking trips down to Hay on Wye, Whitney and beyond.
Additional activities can be arranged, either on site or close by, include climbing, abseiling, gorge walking, quad biking, stand up paddle boarding, mountain biking and bushcraft, (all with experienced instructors), to name just a few! Fabulous walking routes are nearby in the spectacular Brecon Beacons.
