Working in partnership with schools we create bespoke educational programmes with a range of practical, adventurous activities on either water or land.  We provide school groups with an introduction to outdoor pursuits showing the young people the benefits of getting active, sharing and adventure, learning new skills and enjoying the great outdoors.

Cross curricular activities are available that combine a variety of environments and learning activities, and enhance the curriculum in areas such as geography, science and maths.  We aim to make learning more engaging and relevant to nurture creativity and imagination.

Research shows that learning outside the classroom can improve attendance, reduce behaviour problems, keep healthy, improve well-being, develop interest in the environment and wider surrounding, build resilience and promote independent thinking.

Safety

Safety is paramount and our experience and qualified instructors ensure that all our activities are delivered safely whilst enabling young people to have fun, explore and learn through adventure and challenge.

All activities delivered at Whitlingham Adventure comply with the relevant National Governing Body (NGB) and with the Adventurous Activity Licensing authority (AALA).
