2022 Dates
Friday 29 – Sunday 31 January

More than a trophy
It’s great fun, and your students will get so much more from it than they might imagine.
Challenges are designed with outdoor learning in mind, to help young people:
- Improve communication and teamwork skills
- Try new and challenging activities
- Develop problem-solving skills
- Become more resilient
- Gain leadership skills
- Adapt to new environments and situations
If you think that your school is up to the Lakeside School Challenge, and your young people will benefit from a weekend of adventure, then contact us to book your place.
