residentials
ONE NIGHT RESIDENTIAL
Upon arrival at our battlefield barracks, your children will become fully immersed in the forest; sleeping under the stars, and cooking over open fires. Away from screens and technology, our activities encourage team building and give students the chance to develop new skills and interact with their peers in a fun, creative environment. Whether the children are climbing through tunnels, tackling our assault course or any of the challenges they will face, they will do so with their friends and teachers and be led by experienced former or serving unformed service staff.
The new recruits will enjoy a tea time barbecue around the camp fire before toasting marshmallows and reading late night ghost stories.
The barracks are in a secure, supervised part of the forest with separate boys and girls areas. We have a separate barracks for the staff sited right next to the children’s camp. The site is CCTV monitored and lit. We have cot beds for everyone and provide military grade sleeping bags for those that want them.
TWO NIGHT RESIDENTIAL
Includes all the above plus a range of additional Military themed activities with all food and drinks included.
