Motivating YEAR 5 & 6 residential trips
Give students a chance to shine as they create lifelong memories together
With a choice of one, two or three-night stays, our residential trips are a great learning experience for Year 5 and 6 students, where they can learn and develop important life skills, as well as having an unforgettable time with their classmates.
With the challenges of SATs or secondary school preparation, a Rootd residential trip can be a great chance for children to build self-belief and resilience, so they can feel confident facing the future.
And Year 6 residential trips are also the perfect way to celebrate with their friends and create memories before going their separate ways in Year 7.
Our residential adventure programmes for Years 5 and 6 are chosen with your key learning objectives in mind.
What you get with a Rootd trip for Year 5 & 6
With a Rootd school trip, there are no hidden extras. Everything is included in the price – we just ask that you bring a packed lunch for your first day.
There are three essential elements to a Rootd residential primary school trip for your Year 6 students:
Outdoor adventure activities
Bushcraft survival skills
Team building games and activities
We take a different approach
At Rootd, our Year 5 & 6 residential trips offer something different from most adventure companies. We don’t book you onto an ‘off the shelf’ trip, rushing you from activity to activity. We want students to have the time to take in their environment and the freedom to explore the surrounding woodlands.
As well as taking part in your normal residential activities, such as climbing and abseiling, they’ll also go back to basics building shelters, lighting fires and enjoying evenings singing around the campfire with their classmates.
They’ll see nature at its best and go home feeling inspired by the potential for adventure in the great outdoors.

A chance to build confidence and character

With secondary school on the horizon, our Year 6 trips also provide an opportunity for children to grow in independence and confidence, as well as making lifelong memories with their classmates.
