Go Ape: The Ultimate School Trip
School Trips
At Go Ape, we know that pretty much everything is better outside, and that extends to school trips - no matter the weather!
There have been numerous studies into the benefits of outdoor experiences positively impacting a young person’s development. Including improvements to mental health and well-being, deepening nature connection, and promoting more inclusive and engaging learning.
A Go Ape school trip enables self-discovery, problem-solving, teamwork, better communication and confidence building opportunities.
With age-appropriate activities for 4-16-year-olds, including ground-based games, a trip to Go Ape will live long in the memory - of pupils and teachers alike.
The festive season is just over the horizon and we're inviting our mini adventurers to take part in an all-new exciting Christmas challenge with the chance of winning a class trip to Go Ape!
We're calling all 4-11-year-olds to showcase their artistic skills and passion for adventure to be in with the chance of winning an action-packed class trip to Go Ape for their school AND a Go Ape family ticket for any national Go Ape site for themselves!
Why Go Ape makes for a brilliant day trip
There’s so much to learn in the forest - watch your pupils break out of their comfort zone as they overcome heights, ziplines and grow their confidence in a safe and secure environment.
Adventures push us out of our comfort zones, and the greatest rewards come from overcoming challenges, feeling scared or uncomfortable and pushing through barriers to feel a sense of achievement. Adventure builds resilience, and this is summed up in one of our core values of ‘Zero risk = Zero development’ – a valuable life lesson.
