Residential trips for schools
Residential trips that inspire a lifelong love of outdoor adventure
A Rootd school residential trip is all about finding the fun and adventure in every moment. We don’t just offer days of back-to-back activities, we create a fully immersive experience for children, where they can get back to basics and find the adventure in nature.
Our primary school residential trips and secondary school residential trips are designed to inspire every child to get involved and work closely with their classmates to achieve their goals. Whether this is building a shelter together or guiding each other on the high ropes, students learn resilience and the importance of teamwork through fun and exciting activities.
Tailored trips for primary and secondary school
From the moment you book your trip, we make sure we get to know you and your students. We then design the ideal trip for you, incorporating activities that we know will bring out the best in your students.
When you’re with us, we’ll take the time to get to know each and every student, building relationships with them and responding to their needs and interests on a personal level.
Activities that celebrate teamwork and resilience
Developing students’ life skills and building their resilience as they explore the outdoors is the aim of our trips, so we plan them carefully around the principles of forest schools teaching.
Through outdoor adventure, we encourage independent thinking, creativity and teamwork – skills that will benefit them all once they’re back in the classroom.
All-year-round accommodation in a woodland setting
Our woodland outdoor adventure centre is based in Hertfordshire within an hour of Central London and easily accessible from the South East.
Our accommodation is suitable for all seasons, so we can welcome you all year round. From May to October, our bell tents are a fun and cosy option for children. And from November to April, our lodges are perfect for relaxing after a busy day in the outdoors.
Great value trips for schools
We want to make our trips as accessible to as many children as possible, and with shorter-stays, choice of accommodation and all year round residential trips, we offer real value for money.
The cost of our school trips includes meals, accommodation, activities, an evening activity programme, Rootd instructors with you at all times, and free teacher/leader places.
