With the increasing rates of child obesity in the UK, it is ever more important for both parents and teachers to encourage physical activity and healthy eating in young people. Adventure trips can help to engage pupils in doing more sports and exercise in a fun and interactive way.
These trips give them something new to learn and in a fun and safe environment, such as an adventure park. This should help to inspire them to continue physical activity after the trip.
Adventure for schools is a popular type of trip and can easily be done in the UK, so there is no need to go abroad. Kayaking and climbing are very popular activities for school trips, and children in primary school can even take part. As well as helping to encourage exercise, it also creates stronger bonds between the children and to develop friendships. It can also ensure that they improve their listening skills and follow important instructions carefully, as well as building teamwork, which is a vital skill for the workplace. If a child does well at a new sport or skill, it can improve their confidence and may help them work better in other areas of school, as they start to believe in themselves more.
Horse riding, cycling, skiing, swimming and cave tours are just some of the other activities that can be booked through an adventure holiday company. France is a popular destination for activities like these, thanks to its diverse landscape. Going abroad can make things even more exciting and help to experience new languages, culture and climates. Affordable trips are available, and the more people that take part, the cheaper it will be.
