School Residentials for Year 3 and 4

Our Year 3 +4 adventures are the perfect primary school trip for your younger students.  Watch their confidence, resilience and team-building skills soar. It’s an affordable, easy solution.

The Perfect First School Trip Experience

Increasingly, schools are looking for a school residential for younger students. These shorter school residentials offer your class the experience of being away from home without the huge cost or disruption to your timetable.

“Our team have just got back and have not stopped raving about the wonderful time they had.  Your team were fantastic at engaging the children and the camp was the perfect first-time experience”.  Broomwood Hall Prep School, Year 4

Our one and two-night award-winning school trips are designed to be the perfect mix of nature engagement, team building and challenging activities.   Pupils benefit from our focus on self-challenge, life skills and developing perseverance.

We help them learn:

• Resilience
• Listening skills
• Problem-solving
• Social skills
• Team spirit
• Appreciation of nature

Most importantly, Wildchild offers children the chance to explore and have fun in a safe and encouraging environment outside of the classroom.

“The children have learnt a lot about themselves, and they all had a rich experience with some wonderful memories”.  Greenway Primary School, Year 4

Devonshire House Prep School - One-night school residential for Year 3 pupils

Devonshire House have been bringing their Year 3 classes to visit us for the past five years. They knew an overnight school residential would greatly benefit their students but struggled to find a suitable provider. Click to read case study

Louise Reen, Deputy Headteacher told us, “As an independent school we find so many of our children are lucky enough to have a lot of technology at their fingertips, so this gives them an opportunity to unplug, enjoy the bushcraft activities, and really be at one with nature. And they love it!”

Since visiting Wildchild, Devonshire House have found, “Being away encourages them to do things for themselves, improving their independence and listening skills significantly.”

 

 

What does a Wildchild Year 3 + 4 school residential trip include?

Option 1 – A Nature based night away
A one-night adventure trip with a forest focus!  Learn the skills to thrive in the wild, develop your knowledge of British wildfire, and explore the outdoors before settling in to your cosy accommodation.  This is the perfect introduction to being away from home, whilst building on knowledge in a fun and unique way outside of the classroom.

“A great opportunity for children to experience the outdoors and show independence in a supportive environment”. Cavendish School, Year 4

Option 2 – Adventure based one-night residential
For a more adrenaline-filled night away we have our adventure focused one-night residential trip.  This option includes our Wild Survivor Bushcraft session, alongside archery and either cratestacking or high ropes.

Option 3 – Two night residential adventure
Can’t choose between a nature or adventure focused trip, why not pick both!

Our two-night trips include both Wild Survivor and Wild Explorer sessions alongside two adventure activities and our team challenge.  In just three days pupils will develop their confidence, teamwork, independence and nature knowledge.  The additional night also allows for extra evening games and twice as much hot chocolate!

“All children had shared experiences, first introduction of being away from home and independence.  Activities brought them together to challenge themselves”.  Manland Primary School

 

 

Easy Location and exciting accommodation options
