NEW Adventure Days at Conway Centres
With the confirmation from Welsh Government that schools can safely return to educational day visits this Autumn term, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and let you know about our educational activity day visits at the Conway Centre on Anglesey, designed exclusively for our local schools.
Many children have missed the opportunity to attend their residential visits, and following many months of disruption to students’ mental and physical health, our day courses present the perfect opportunity for pupils to reap the many benefits outdoor learning provides.
Can you tell me more about your Day Courses?
Our Adventure Learning day courses have been exclusively designed for our local schools with a focus on:
- your students’ return to their learning environment
- their mental and physical health & wellbeing
- spending time in the unique natural environment North Wales has to offer
- having fun
- any specific learning outcomes that you would like them to take from the day
Using the amazing natural landscape Anglesey has to offer, our adventure activities aim to challenge, motivate and develop students by allowing students to step out of their comfort zone in a safe, supported, hands-on environment.
We offer Full Day or Half Day courses and will work with you to select your activities based on your learning outcomes. Half Day courses include one activity and Full Day courses include two of the following:
| • Bushcraft | • Kayaking | • Via Ferrata | • Orienteering |
| • High ropes | • Canoeing | • Indoor climbing wall | • Mountain biking |
| • Low ropes & Zipline
|
• Raft building
|
• Off-Site Coasteering (Full Day courses only – minibus fee applies) | • Off-site Gorge Walking (Full Day courses only – minibus fee applies) |
Our Half Day courses are only £18.35pp, or just £36.70 for Full Day courses. Hot or cold lunches can be provided for £4.95pp.
