Action-packed residential trips for primary schools
Watch children thrive as they learn new skills and discover their potential
Our residential trips for primary schools are designed for Years 3–6 and focus on finding the adventure in nature and helping children to discover the freedom and fun of the outdoors. It’s a great introduction to outdoor learning, where children build confidence, learn new skills, make memories and have an amazing time with their friends!
On a Rootd residential trip for primary schools you can opt for a one or two-night visit for your younger students, which is ideal for those staying away from home for the first time. Or for Year 5 and 6, a longer residential trip gives them more time to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
We recently brought a group of Year 5 children to Rootd for a camping and back to nature experience, and it was exceptional. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also knew exactly how to engage with the children. Their ability to connect and create a fun, educational environment made the experience unforgettable for everyone. Highly recommend Rootd for any outdoor adventure!
