What will students see and do?
Kibblestone International Scout Camp is located in the Midlands. It’s just under an hour from Birmingham, 75 minutes from Manchester, 80 minutes from Liverpool, and just under three hours from London.
This is a 98-acre campsite, so students will have plenty of room to play and explore. As an outdoor activity centre, there are a multitude of different activities to choose from, many of which will encourage pupils to work together.
Activities available at Kibblestone include:
– abseiling
– air rifle shooting
– archery
– axe throwing
– climbing
– hamster run
– hiking trails
– obstacle courses
– high all aboard
– low ropes
– raft building
Students will have fun taking part, while also building up a number of important skills, including problem solving, teamwork, communication, and more. They’ll bond with classmates by working together to succeed.
Most of all, students will get an opportunity to experience learning outside the classroom, experiencing real-world opportunities that will then feed back in to classroom lessons.
How does the trip link to the curriculum?
A trip to this scout camp can cover several areas of the curriculum, including science. For younger kids this involves learning about the environment and the types of animals that live within different habitats.
Pupils will also test their physical education skills when it comes to activities such as climbing.
This trip is also ideal for teaching students life skills such as problem solving and teamwork, and boosting pupils’ confidence.
