What will students see and do?

Acorn Adventure is a leading provider of school adventure trips in the United Kingdom and Europe.

The team is passionate about outdoor activities and all residential sites have been carefully selected to offer special locations that will appeal to teachers wanting to inspire pupils with an exciting range of activities.

One example is Brecon Beacons Adventure, an activity centre located next to Llangorse Lake in the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales.

Brecon Beacons Adventure offers plenty of fun, fast-paced and engaging activities that your group will love.

A variety of water sports make the most of the beautiful lakeside setting, such as giant stand-up paddleboards, kayaking, katakanuing and canoeing.

There’s also a fantastic range of land-based activities, including archery, bushcraft, wall climbing, hill walks, axe throwing, blind trails, orienteering, artificial caving, rifle shooting, campfire making and ‘Mission Impossible’.

Each activity is one and a half hours, giving students plenty of opportunity to try different challenges during a residential stay.

There is also entertainment every evening and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces for pupils to enjoy in their free time.
