Secondary Schools | Skern Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre

Secondary

Enhance team and personal development skills in an environment that is stimulating, challenging and fun.

Group of girls-senior school at Skern Lodge

Our courses can help prepare young people for that important next step of their development. Whether it's a transition to a new school or simply building confidence and developing life skills.

Learning and development is key on all our courses. We use activities as a medium to help young people grow and develop in an environment that is safe and where they feel well supported.

Inspiring locations, plus inspirational Skern staff will ensure that learning gained from their residential is reflected upon and taken back into the classroom. Helping to broaden their horizons and increasing their motivation and appetite for learning.

The instructors providing your residential experiences not only bring joy and laughter, but subtly instil within students the underlying aspect of self-development and self-worth.

“When planned and implemented well, learning outside the classroom contributed significantly to raising standards and improving pupils’ personal, social and emotional development.”
