EDUCATE, EXHILARATE & CHALLENGE
We have been providing a bespoke and professional service for over 25 years, offering exhilarating, challenging and educational activity holidays for schools and groups. Our program reinforces the importance of learning outside the classroom, incorporating language, geography, history, PE, citizenship, creativity, individual and collective responsibility, and social skills. Let us work together to provide the best adventure for you and your group.
Cultural Tour Activities
Discover Ancient Rome
The River Descent
The river Ardèche is the reason why most groups come to the area, and it’s hard not to see why. A 26 km river trip filled with whitewater, fun, sunshine, excitement, and smiles. That would be an amazing experience for most people, but we also combine that with a night under the stars, which makes for an unforgettable experience, not only for your group, but also for you, and your team.Â
Discover Medieval France
Come with us as we explore the medieval town named after the legendary sword carried by the Father of Europe, the warrior king Charlemagne. With its wealth of narrow streets to explore you will have a fascinating time.
 We combine this trip with a visit to a traditional local market, where you can practice your French language skills, and pick up some souvenirs and tasty treats.
High Rope Challenge
What’s that up in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Â No it’s your group having the time of their lives. We particularly love the high ropes courses, there is nothing more enjoyable than hearing happy voices high in the trees as your group safely navigate themselves through the routes as they increase in height and difficulty.
Evening program
After an adventure packed day, your Group Leaders have put together a fun packed evening activity program, for you and your group, the activities include the below :-
- Team building activities
- Wild swimming
- Fun games
- Star gazing
