UNITE! residential adventures boost your students’ connections with each other. Help them build strong bonds and harness the power of teamwork on their next school adventure with PGL.

1. Build strong bonds

PGL understands that uniting your secondary school class at the start of the academic year is crucial. That’s why UNITE! adventures go beyond our classic outdoor activity programmes, being specifically designed to help students encourage and understand others to build empathy.

They’re dynamic experiences, interwoven with relationship-building threads – every moment is an opportunity to unlock a student’s true potential. Listening, being open, and sharing opinions has never been so easy as when they’re working together to achieve victory in archery tag!

2. Tailored for secondary schools

We provide a hand-picked experience to ensure that your adventure is age-appropriate. With a dedicated PGL ‘Groupie’ on hand at every step, your stay with us will be personalised and empowering.

UNITE! adventures place greater focus on developing existing skills, building relationships and boosting camaraderie through various tasks and challenges, with shared excitement being the essence of the programme.

We can also offer activities exclusive to secondary schools, such as multi-craft watersports sessions, axe-throwing and archery tag, so your group’s experience is an adrenaline-filled, relationship-building adventure.

For Years 7–9, PGL knows it’s important to start preparing students for what life brings. UNITE! is perfect for enabling students to push their limits and reach for the skies (with a little help from their friends).

UNITE! adventures create supportive spaces that provide opportunities to learn in different ways through a variety of different experiences, broadening students’ knowledge and developing their ambitions in the process.

We provide the equipment, but the real champions of UNITE! are your students, when they have fun – together.

“UNITE! adventures inspire connections and build empathy.”
