What will students see and do?

Based in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in the UK’s smallest city of St Davids, TYF is the perfect choice for your next adventure trip.

Founded in 1986, TYF has over 35 years of expertise in delivering experiential adventure education programmes. Its team believe in the power of authentic adventures and venues, providing an immersive learning experience.

Its programmes not only enhance students’ personal and social development but also ignite a sense of wonder and a lifelong passion for the natural world.

On a TYF residential trip to the dynamic Pembrokeshire Coast, students will immerse themselves in nature while engaging in a range of adventure activities designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and environmental responsibility.

Against the stunning backdrop of the Welsh coastline, they will participate in activities such as coasteering, kayaking, surfing, and climbing, all led by TYF’s expert guides. These experiences will not only allow them to connect with the wild landscape but also help build essential life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving.

By the end of the trip, students will return home with wonderful memories of exciting adventures and having grown as individuals. The trip provides students with a valuable mix of practical skills, knowledge, and a sense of responsibility towards the natural world.



Teaching resources provided

TYF offers a variety of teaching resources tailored to the specific activities chosen by each school. For example, if students are participating in orienteering, TYF provides detailed maps, compasses, and instructions suited to their skill level. Similarly, for water-based activities like kayaking or Coastal Explorer sessions, TYF supplies guides and information on marine life and coastal ecosystems. For the Rockpool Safari sessions, there are ‘Treasure Hunt’-style checklists, allowing students to tick off species as they discover them, making the experience both engaging and educational.

That said, outside of the activities mentioned above, TYF generally does not provide physical teaching resources. This aligns with its commitment to reducing paper usage and promoting experiential learning, which focuses on learning through observation, engagement, and direct interaction with the natural world.

However, there is a collection of pre-prepared worksheets and curriculum-aligned materials available upon request, depending on the school’s needs. These worksheets cover topics ranging from environmental conservation to physical education and are designed to reinforce key concepts learned during the trip. Teachers can also request lesson plans, reflection sheets, or tailored activity guides to extend the learning experience into their classrooms.
