We understand that a whole class residential requires a very specific set of factors to be successful. The sites that we choose for your residentials can handle large numbers of students and pass our rigorous safety requirements. Our residentials are a mix of outdoor education, creative activities, and teambuilding experiences that are designed to foster leadership, physical challenge, and a fun sense of adventure! In the Fall term we focus on teambuilding between students and students & teachers. In the Spring term we focus on celebrating the school year.
