What will students see and do?

For teachers looking for school trips that provide their students with more than one learning opportunity, Pathways is a perfect choice. This activity centre provides students with access to numerous different types of enrichment activities.

For one, students can participate in several inflatable activities, such as a 60ft inflatable assault course where they can practise teambuilding. They can also enjoy the “It’s a Knockout” field game, inflatable bungee run, inflatable slide and a kids’ bouncy castle.

If you’re wanting students to focus more on problem-solving and teambuilding, activities such as raft building are a great way for students to work together. They can also participate in group activities such as a treasure hunt, orienteering or geocaching.

Students visiting Pathways Adventure Activities are also provided with the opportunity to use some of the many shooting ranges and equipment. This includes archery, airsoft target shooting, clay pigeon shooting and laser tag or laser shooting.

If you’re simply wanting to get your students in the great outdoors, you can help them improve bushcraft and wilderness skills, participate in climbing and abseiling, go canoeing or sailing and try their hand at mountain biking.
