Is your school up for the Lakeside challenge?
Each February we host the Lakeside School Challenge. Year 9 and 10 students from schools throughout the UK compete against each other in a host of outdoor adventures to become Lakeside School Challenge Champions.
More than a trophy
It’s great fun, but your students will get so much more from it than they’ll ever realise.
All 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 for the Lakeside School Challenge, and your young people will benefit from a weekend full of fun, then call our team to find out more about the next Lakeside School Challenge.
