How to plan a school trip?

Planning a successful primary school trip requires careful consideration and organisation. Here are a few steps you can follow to plan a trip that is educational, enjoyable, and safe:

        • Determine the purpose of the trip: what do you want your students to learn or achieve during their outdoor learning adventure? What skills or knowledge do you hope to develop? Clearly defining the purpose of the trip will help us to plan adventurous activities and select a location that aligns with your educational goals. Understanding the needs of your students helps us when focusing on which skills to develop, such as communication, problem solving or resilience building.
        • Select a location: the We Are Adventurers team will work with you to choose a location that is appropriate for the age and ability level of your students, and that offers opportunities for the type of learning you want to facilitate. We will consider the distance from your school, the availability of amenities, and the potential for hazards or challenges.
        • Develop a schedule and plan activities: We will create a plan and schedule that includes a mix of structured and unstructured activities, and allow time for breaks and free child lead exploration. 
        • Co-ordinate logistics: it is important to make arrangements for transportation, accommodations, and meals, and consider any necessary permits or permissions. Ensuring that we have sufficient adult supervision and that all necessary safety precautions are in place.
        • Communicate with parents and carers: we all know the importance of keeping parents and carers informed about the trip, including the purpose, location, schedule, and any necessary forms or waivers. We will work with you to provide all the relevant and up to date information about what students should bring and any necessary medical or emergency contact information.

By following these steps, you can plan a school trip that is both educational and enjoyable for your students.
