Residential activity trips are ideal for primary school children as they are very effective in supporting many of the Key Stage 2 curriculum requirements such as key skills, PSHE and citizenship in a fun and inspiring setting out in the fresh air.
OA Stay is an ideal setting for a short stay residential of just 1 or 2 nights, to accommodate the younger age range of years 3, 4 and 5 or extend your stay for Year 6. Short stay residentials are perfect for those younger years as it could be there first trip away from home.
The school residential is designed to be offered to your students as a fantastic reward to really look forward to at the end of a hard academic year. It can be a powerful incentive and really help them to keep up the commitment and focus for just those few more months of study.
The residential trip is packed full of fun and opportunity where students can experience a wide range of new and exciting water-based activities. Very often the students would never get the chance to do many of these activities back home, and this makes the whole experience so memorable and worthwhile. They become aware of a whole new world in the outdoors and develop new skills as well as an increase in self-confidence to tackle new challenges.
Very often a week’s residential like this can also be a great catalyst to a healthier lifestyle when they get back home. Many students who perhaps did not find conventional sports was for them, go on to search out more outdoor and adventurous activities and start new hobbies.
