As well as our popular residentials, we also offer Adventure Days for local schools and can provide transport if required.
"We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at High Adventure. You know how to deliver very high quality, engaging sessions to the children. You allow so much time for each session enabling the instructors to spend time with each child, encouraging them and challenging them to achieve and exceed their targets. We're impressed with the knowledge of your instructors. Your domestic staff have been superb. Our children and staff have had an incredible time, you all do a fantastic job. We're looking forward to next year."
Lee Swift; Alverthorpe St Pauls CE School.
Activities
At High Adventure, we work with you to create your own activity programme so that you get exactly what you want from your trip and can tell pupils in advance what they'll be doing!
With 30 activities available, you'll be spoilt for choice. All activities are delivered by our DBS checked, qualified enthusiastic and professional team of instructors who will give your pupils a fun-filled session that builds confidence and encourages team-work. Below are some of the most popular primary school activities, with plenty more to see on our activity page.
"Following many years of becoming increasingly disillusioned with residential centres who seemingly wanted nothing more than our money, we feel we have struck gold in High Adventure. From the point of declaring our initial interest, right through until our departure, High Adventure made everything simple. All activities are within close proximity to the hub of the centre meaning time isn’t lost or wasted moving between activities. The activity plan is tailored to meet our wants and needs rather than having to fit in with the centre’s limitations and restrictions. We are very much looking forward to returning again in the next couple of months. Highly, highly, highly recommended!"
Jon, Burton Joyce Primary School 2024
Leap of Faith
Climb up to stand on a platform around 8 metres above the ground, then leap off and catch a bar which is dangling a short distance in front of you. That is the challenge that you face on our leap of faith; you are of course roped on in harness and helmet and therefore safe throughout...
Adventure Walk
Pupils will explore and learn about the local area. Taking in Earl Crag and the pinnacle monuments, views across The Yorkshire Dales, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, scrambling and weaselling along the rock outcrops...
