Edale Year 9 team building residential

Edale YHA Year 9 residential

Serious in its aims but fun and demanding in its methods, our annual residential course to Edale YHA Activity Centre is an outdoor learning adventure and an opportunity for Year 9 students to develop their personal confidence and build a strong team spirit across the year.

Set in the heart of the Peak District National Park, the trip running Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th December inclusive, is designed to allow students access to activities including: rock climbing, archery, abseiling, caving, problem solving and team building, where they can learn that to succeed, you have to take care of each other.

The cost of the residential trip is £132 (fully inclusive of transport, equipment, food and accommodation). A deposit of £60 is required by 27th September 2019.

For further information please contact Mr W Amin, Key Stage 4 Pastoral Coordinator. Email aminw@bwslive.co.uk
