Introduction
An unforgettable adventure is just around the corner.
You’re never far away from YHA. Our network of properties spans the length and breadth of England and Wales’ most inspiring landscapes, which means we are singularly positioned to offer teachers and pupils the widest range of authentic learning opportunities in the real outdoors.
Instead of climbing an indoor wall, your pupils will be scrambling up a rockface, abseiling down a viaduct or canoeing on a real river. Add to that searching for life on the seashore, taking part in a medieval battle and digging for artefacts and you’ve got the makings of a great school trip.

Flexible residential experiences
Working with teachers, we have prepared flexible residential options and National Curriculum linked activities. Our primary school residentials are all tailor-made to meet the needs of your pupils and offer engaging and exciting ways to inspire, motivate and challenge every member of your group, at great value prices you can trust.
Our flexible approach sets us apart from many residential providers. If you want to run a self-led residential we can help find a great hostel for you, or if you’d like us to do all of the work our fully trained staff can deliver the activities for you as part of one of our popular packages. We also offer a range of low-cost bolt-on activities that can be added onto your stay to help fill any unplanned time in your itinerary
