Outdoor Education

Book an outdoor learning experience

Nurturing confident, curious minds through engaging and immersive outdoor learning experiences

Navigating today’s educational landscape requires more than traditional classroom instruction; it demands immersive learning experiences that prepare students for the real world. At Capita Entrust, we bridge this gap, with offerings designed to enhance resilience, collaboration and environmental consciousness.

Programmes that empower positive personal development in young people

Our tailored outdoor learning programmes offer students the opportunity to explore the outdoors on day trips or residentials at our two outdoor centres located in the heart of Staffordshire, Laches Wood and Standon Bowers or experience camping at the Wilderness Academy  . With activities including archery, bridge building, caving, climbing, paddle sports plus much more – we challenge students with real-world scenarios, nurturing a form of resilience that extends beyond the classroom.

Our outdoor learning offer includes:
