Tailored year 3 & 4
residential trips
Inspire a lifelong love of nature through immersive outdoor adventure
At Rootd everything we do is designed to help children find inspiration and adventure in nature, allowing them to really shine in the great outdoors.
For Year 3 and 4 students, a shorter school residential trip designed for younger children can be the perfect introduction to outdoor learning and adventure. Children still experience the excitement of being away from home with their class, but without the higher costs and timetable disruption that often comes with a longer stay.
What a fabulous outdoor adventure trip run by a passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic team at Rootd. A real adventure in a forest setting getting in touch with nature. Delicious food, caring advice and guidance, exciting activities and excellent behaviour management. We can't wait to come back!
What’s included in a Rootd Year 3 and 4 school residential trip?
1. A nature-based night away
A one-night adventure trip with a forest focus, this is the perfect introduction to being away from home. Children explore the outdoors, learn new skills and develop their knowledge of British wildlife, before playing evening games and settling into their cosy overnight accommodation.
2. An adventure-based night away
On this one-night adrenaline-filled residential, children take part in a range of outdoor activities, such as archery, high ropes and our Wild Survivor Bushcraft session, before enjoying evening games and snuggling down in their accommodation.
3. A two-night residential adventure
Students experience the very best of the outdoors through a combination of Wild Survivor and Wild Explorer sessions, adventure activities and an exciting team challenge. The extra night allows for more evening games, as well as double the hot chocolate!
A typical day on a Rootd Year 3 + 4 trip

An inspiring first school trip experience
A Rootd school residential trip for Years 3 and 4 is great fun for children and focuses on building confidence and resilience through a range of challenging, nature-based activities.
Working closely together, children have a chance to test themselves away from the classroom and develop important life skills, including:
- Listening skills
- Problem-solving
- Social skills

Children will leave their one or two-night stay feeling proud of their achievements and inspired to go on and explore more of the great outdoors.
