Outdoor and explore at Tile Barn Centre
Freedom to explore the New Forest surroundings as part of a blended programme with traditional adventurous activities
This affordable split-package has 50% of the programme led by the centre's instructor team on traditional adventurous activities. The other 50% of the programme is made up of teacher or group led sessions (with able resources provided). This allows for larger groups to come together when developing essential teamworking skills.
Connection
Outdoor and Explore encourages a much deeper connection between school staff and the students through joint experiences with staff on a range of team building activities. The activities are designed to challenge teams to collaborate and communicate effectively to complete the task.
This package works particularly well with year 7 groups as part of a transition week in the autumn term, or for geography field work in the New Forest where you have a central base in the New Forest, but also experience adventurous activities!
Flexibility
The Outdoor and Explore package gives customers the option to tailor their stay to suit their learning outcomes. Utilising time when not on instructor taught sessions, the school have the flexibility to visit local attractions or use the on-site resources to deliver their own learning experiences.
