Tailored year 4 & 5
residential trips
Inspire a lifelong love of nature through immersive outdoor adventure
A Rootd school residential trip for Years 4 and 5 is great fun for children and focuses on building confidence and resilience through a range of challenging, adventurous and 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
- Teambuilding
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.
What’s included in a Rootd Year 4 and 5 school residential trip?
Our Year 4 and 5 school trips are tailored to the needs of you and your students, and you can choose from a number of options:
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, 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 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 Survivor and Explorer sessions, adventure activities and an exciting team challenge. The extra night allows for more evening games, as well as double the hot chocolate!
Over 90% of schools choose to return to Rootd, confident that every trip will be a success
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!
