We offer a bespoke schools and groups package that allows you to organise a trip according to your group’s age, ability, learning objectives and desired outcomes. Popular activities we offer include:

• 2 day, 28 km descent of the Ardèche river, including overnight camping and barbecue at the Gournier Bivouac site. Students will paddle in pairs through one of the most dramatic landscapes in France, with plenty of opportunities along the way to play, swim and picnic.
• Foss hill trek – a short walk up to the viewpoint above our centre, the group has the ability to learn more about the flora and fauna of the region, look at how the water has shaped the limestone environment, and plenty of chances to spot fossils within the limestone.
• Raft Building and Survival Skills. Both activities reinforce team building skills and problem solving.
• Treetop high ropes course – an exhilarating adventure with zip wires, bridges and swings.
• A visit to the the amazing Chauvet2 cave, or  L’Aven d’Orgnac cave
• A visit to one of our local, bustling French market
• A full program of evening activities.

All activities are supervised by highly experienced, English speaking,  qualified instructors. Our varied and exciting program reinforces the importance of learning outside the classroom and reflects our strong commitment to the environment and personal development while not forgetting to have lots of fun.
