What will students see and do?
School holidays are the perfect opportunity for teachers to give their pupils a hands-on adventure where they can put their classroom knowledge to the test.
One of the top school trip ideas that teachers can take advantage of is to travel to France for a residential outdoor adventure. You’ll find some of the best outdoor activities at La Savane’s campgrounds in the south of France.
La Savane is a gorgeous campground located in the heart of the French Alps. It offers an abundance of outdoor activities for students, making it a great choice for teachers wanting to push their students to get outside and explore their surroundings.
On a trip to La Savane, students will be able to see the gorgeous French countryside. There are kayaking and rafting opportunities, hiking trails, swimming spots, and great places to eat in the area.
All of these activities make for an exciting expedition for students. It’s a great way for them to explore a different region and get out of the UK while still learning.
How does the trip link to the curriculum?
Outdoor learning is a great way for you to tie what your students do in the classroom to practical, real-world experiences. And, because La Savane is located in a different country entirely, it’s a great way to tie in French culture and geography lessons too.
Plus, the many team-building activities offered at the site will help you to bring your students together.
