School Trips

Take advantage of our complete services and we'll handle the planning and organization of the class trip so you as the teacher have time for what's most important: focusing on the children.

School trips are important for building teamwork and a sense of community, taking responsibility and they promote self-confidence in students. For some, these trips are the only way to have an experience outside their normal living environment. And of course the children and young people take home many experiences that will remain unforgettable.

Nowadays, for a successful school trip, special program elements are required. Our programs include modern pedagogical, educational, adventurous and experiential components which foster a closer relationship between the students. The teacher can individually choose how much they want to be involved in the program. The same goes for the students: “challenge by choice” is our motto. Through motivation, we try to move them out of their personal comfort zone and boost their confidence.

We are also the activity provider for the National Trust & are licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority in the United Kingdom.

Experience

Allowing everyone the opportunity to expose The National Park and the wonderful world of the outdoors and it’s many different environments.

ENRICH

Each outdoor experience should present an element of quality and value, from catching the first wave to an open water paddle board activity.

EVERYONE

The outdoors is both a playground and classroom for all ages and abilities allowing for an enriching, learning environment.

As well as enjoyment and learning, safety plays a key role in all of our outdoor experiences. Since its establishment Outer Reef Surf Centre has continued to raise its standards, maintaining an excellent track record in Health & Safety and receiving outstanding reports from both the Adventure, Activities, Licencing Authority (AALA) whiles training a large majority of RNLI & outdoor Multi activity instructors.
